From the React-1 study:
The number of people infected has more than doubled since the last round, with one in every 78 people now testing positive.
The hardest hit area is Yorkshire and the Humber, where one every 37 people has the virus, followed by the North West region.
Three times as many people aged 55-64 are infected and twice as many over 65s.
The pace of the epidemic has accelerated with the R number - the number of people each infected person passes the virus on to on average - increasing from 1.15 to 1.56.
Overall, the number of people infected is doubling every nine days.
The South East, South West, east of England and London all have an R above 2.0. London has an estimated R of 2.86.
Cases are spiking in young people in the South West in a repeat of the pattern seen in northern England just over a month ago.
96,000 people are now catching the virus every day.
Gulp .....
