Due to the reduction in serious illness and deaths from COVID-19 we have begun a new phase of living with the virus. The Government will continue monitoring the virus through maintaining scaled back surveillance studies such as the Office for National Statistics’ COVID-19 Infection Survey and other data sources including genomic sequencing. We will keep all surveillance activities under review to ensure we have the capabilities to defend against a new variant.
