Since then, two fast-spreading new subvariants of Omicron called BA. 4 and BA. 5 have dominated, causing more new infections.
An estimated 2. 7 million people in the UK, are thought to have Covid.
Prof Tim Spector , who runs the Zoe Health Study, said: " Covid is still rampant in the population.
" Even if people have had a past infection and are fully vaccinated, people are still catching it.
" Although we all want to make The Most of The Good weather, people will need to decide for themselves whether going to large events, working from The Office or using busy Public Transport is worth The Risk . "
Both the Zoe study and the React-1 study had been funded by the government until recently.
