LONDON, Nov 4 — Covid-19 prevalence in England rose to its highest level on record in October, Imperial College London said on Thursday, led by a high number of cases in children and a surge in the south-west of the country.

Despite that dip, researchers said rates had doubled in older groups compared to September, a concerning sign as the government races to give booster shots to the most vulnerable. The Imperial REACT-1 study estimated overall prevalence at 1.72 per cent based on swabs collected between Oct 19-29, compared to 0.83 per cent in September.
