Rates of Covid infection have hit a record high in the UK, official data showed Friday, just as free government testing ended for millions in England.

It said one in 13 people in England are estimated to have had Covid during that week, up from one in 16 the week before. The rate in Scotland was higher still, at one in 12.
"The rapid rise continues to be fuelled by the growth of the Omicron BA.2 variant across the UK," ONS senior statistician Kara Steel said.
