Dr Jenny Harries, chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, said: “The data continues to show that the sharp increase in cases that we are seeing is not being followed by a similar increase in hospitalisation and death.
“This is because two doses of the available vaccines offer a high level of protection against the Delta variant.

“Getting both jabs is the best way to ensure you and the people you love remain safe, so we once again urge everyone to come forward as soon as they are eligible.
“Cases are rising across the country, and whilst the vaccines offer excellent protection they don’t offer 100 percent protection, so be sensible and follow ‘hands, face, space, fresh air’ at all times and make sure to get tested if required.”
