Can the UK relax now that the peak has passed?
According to reports, Covid-19 cases may be falling, raising hopes that the peak of the third wave has passed.
However, experts are not so sure that Covid is truly in decline as figures have shown cases have gone up dramatically and declined just as quickly.
Prof Christl Donnelly, from University of Oxford and Imperial College London has said "It's certainly is good to see case numbers going down, but we need a reality check. We've had a dramatic increase - and then on the face of it, a dramatic decrease. We have to be careful not to over-interpret that."
