LONDON (Reuters) – The prevalence of COVID-19 infections in England has fallen again, with 1 in 145 people infected in the week ending Feb 19, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.

That is down from 1 in 115 people estimated to have coronavirus in the previous week’s ONS Infection Survey, a widely watched estimate of community prevalence of COVID-19 infections.
