Covid cases in England tripled in a month in December and a staggering 311,372 people tested positive for the virus in the last week of 2020.
NHS Test & Trace figures published today showed the infection rate was three times higher than the weekly total at the end of November, when 97,340 people tested positive.
The number of people testing positive in the week after Christmas surged by 24 per cent from the week before.
And this was despite the number of people being tested dropping by almost a third. The proportion of people testing positive rose from 9 to 17 per cent – one in six. There were 1.8million people tested in the week up to December 30, down 740,000 from 2.6m the week before and 2m the week before that.
Study calls for urgent action to address the risks posed by unsafe disposal practices
A major global study of what happens to consumer goods and other engineered products at the end of their useful life has found widespread use of unsafe management and disposal practices and calls for urgent action to address the risks posed to human life and health.
The Engineering X Global Review on Safer End of Engineered Life warns that the biggest threat is from the open burning of solid waste which is damaging the health of tens of millions of people worldwide but a lack of data means that the true scale of the problem is unknown and more research is urgently needed.

Women are now the main earners in about one in four Australian households. This increase in female “breadwinner” households challenges traditional expectations of men and women and their roles in family life.
Our research shows those expectations remain strong, with both men’s and women’s satisfaction with their relationship dropping when the woman becomes the primary breadwinner, earning 60 per cent or more of household income.
Examining relationship satisfaction
We examined what happened when couples experienced change in their household breadwinning arrangements using data from the Households Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Our study used detailed information collected from about 12,000 Australians over a maximum of 17 years.
TWO Southampton-based projects are to benefit from hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding. The University of Southampton is harnessing space tech to help make buildings more energy efficient and preserve important historical sites, thanks to £200,000 of Government funding. Through the UK Space Agency, the government is giving a cash injection to five projects, including two led by the University of Southampton. The projects are designed to bring together UK business expertise with universities to help build space solutions to global problems, on UK soil. One of the projects, ArchAI, will use space archaeology and Earth Observation data to help the construction industry by spotting likely sites for archaeology, saving people and businesses money when acquiring planning permission by significantly lowering the risk of construction inadvertently on a burial site.
