Coronavirus cases are rising exponentially among unvaccinated groups in England, according to scientists tracking the epidemic.
The study, commissioned by the government, found that rising cases are also being driven by young people.
Data from nearly 110,000 swab tests carried out across England between May 20 and June 7 suggests Covid-19 cases are doubling every 11 days, with the highest prevalence in the North West and on average one in 670 people are infected.
