Scientists warn that England's progress in the World Cup could lead to an increase in Covid cases.
A rise in infections could be caused by mass gatherings in pubs and homes where friends and relatives gather to watch the team compete.

She said that people should think twice about going to parties and should wear masks whenever possible.
Since the easing of Covid restrictions in the UK, there have been more opportunities for other infections to spread. There has been a rise in the number of strep A bacterium cases which have resulted in the deaths of six young people. Reduced mixing may have caused a drop in population-wide immunity.
