Read our privacy policy Coronavirus infection rates are rising in London but are decreasing in other areas of the country, the Office for National Statistics has said. While Covid-19 infection rates are increasing in London, eastern England and the southeast, they seem to be getting lower in the northwest and the east Midlands. Katherine Kent, co-head of analysis for the Covid-19 Infection Survey, said that the rises seen in places like London were typically driven by younger people becoming infected. Responding to the varying infection rates in different areas of England, Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, recommended that “an approach focused on improved compliance at regional, not national level, over a longer time frame is the best way forward”.
