The 25 areas on the Delta variant watchlist revealed

“The difficult thing is to predict how long that trend is likely to continue for”, said Prof Steven Riley of Imperial.the outbreak is starting to level offAround 15,760 people in Britain are thought to be catching the virus each day - which is a third up on last week, when the total had doubled.

The lead researchers on the REACT study did not want to predict when things may start to improve, but said the four-week delay of the last roadmap step would greatly improve chances of bringing case rates down.The ZOE Covid Symptom Study app takes information from millions of app users who report any virus symptoms and if they have a positive test result.

The rest of the 25 hotspots have seen cases either stay the same or drop slightly in the past seven days, as data shows early signs the outbreak is slowing down. It has been hardest hit by Delta with steep hikes in case rates over the past month, particularly in Bolton and Blackburn with Darwen.However, Blackburn and Bolton are examples of hotspots that appear to have already had their “peak”.

Neither area saw a significant rise in hospital admissions, offering more evidence the jabs are protecting the most vulnerable. Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said: “We know this approach has made a real impact in south London and in Bolton where we have seen it stall rising cases.
