The UK’s Covid-19 alert level has been downgraded to level 2, meaning the virus is in “general circulation” but healthcare pressures and transmission are “declining or stable”.
The move brings the UK to the lowest alert level it has been at since the system was introduced in May 2020. Level 2 is defined as being in “general circulation in the UK, but direct Covid-19 healthcare pressures are low and transmission is declining or stable”, while 3 is in “general circulation in the UK”. A final downgrade to level 1 would mean the virus is “present in the UK, but the number of cases and transmission is low”.
