Covid infections rose by almost a third between 26 December and 3 January, reaching 70,000 new cases a day according to a major study.
In a different piece of research, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimated 1.2 million people in total had Covid over a similar time period.
Daily infections are understood to have risen to about 150,000 since then.
That would bring daily coronavirus cases above the first peak.
