But the latest data from the Covid-19 surveillance study for England suggests an estimated average of 14,000 people had coronavirus between June 22 and July 5. Around 1,700 people caught the bug each day, just 0.03% of the population - down from 0.09% two weeks ago - or one in every 3,900. They calculated that four households per 10,000 households were newly infected in the period from June 22 to July 5, 2020. And the ONS said the decline in coronavirus cases, which was so apparent in May and June, has levelled off. Registered deaths involving coronavirus decreased in all but one region in England in the week ending June 26, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in its latest update.
