The summer Covid surge is an early warning for even bigger wave when schools go back in the Autumn, experts fear. Scientists behind the ZOE Covid study app estimate Covid cases have passed 275,000 a day and could reach 300,000 early next week. It comes as UK hospitals have recorded around a three-fold increase in Covid admissions in the last month. Daily symptomatic infections have risen by 142% this month, rising from 114,030 on 1 June to 275,706 on Sunday, according to data based on reports to its app. The current spike, which experts believe could peak in the next fortnight, is being fuelled by more infectious Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5. They suspect the subvariants may return with a vengeance after the summer school holidays and when the cooling weather leads to more indoor mixing.

Traditional office setups may no longer be safe in the new normal. Since April 1, many businesses have already gone back to the office, particularly the outsourcing firms which were mandated by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) to have majority of their employees working onsite.
