Coronavirus infections in the UK are estimated to have risen for the first time since March at the height of the Omicron wave. A total of 989,800 people in private households in the UK are estimated to have had the virus in the week ending June 2, up from 953,900 the previous week, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
