COVID-19: Infections have levelled off and may have started falling, official data shows

The surge in COVID infections has levelled off and may have started to decline, according to the latest official data. Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show 4,883,100 people in the UK had the disease in the week to 2 April. That's a fall of 0.5% from the week before. It confirms the trend shown on the COVID dashboard a fortnight ago.
