LESS THAN A THIRD OF PEOPLE WHO TEST POSITIVE COVID SYMPTOMS, DATA SHEETS
Less than a third of other people who tested positive for coronavirus reported having symptoms, showed new figures.
Research through the Office of National Statistics found that only about 28% of other people who tested positive for Covid-19 reported symptoms at the time of their swab examination or at previous or subsequent controls.
The remaining 72% of the positive cases reported that they did not have any of the general or express symptoms on the day of their positive swab test, previous or subsequent swab tests, or answered any of the questions, the ONS added.
The results, published Tuesday, said there is a “potentially significant number” of asymptomatic cases of the virus.

CHARLES SENDS A SUPPORT MESSAGE TO AUSTRALIANS AMID THE SECOND WAVE OF CORONAVIRUS
The Prince of Wales said Australians were doing “difficult things” by recording a message for others facing a coronavirus resurgence in Victoria.
Charles, a former king of the Commonwealth country, said the moment of the wave would have “heartbreaking consequences” for many, but that the state would be more powerful than ever.
“I just wanted to say, on behalf of my wife and me, that you’re so in our special mind that I can believe it’s an incredibly attractive and frustrating moment, and that we care deeply about what you want to do. He said.
Melbourne, the state capital, has been locked for more than a month, with strict measures in place, a curfew at night.
Victoria still has more than 7,000 Covid-19 assets and remains Australia’s worst concern.
COVID-19 LOSS OF ODOR ‘MUCH DEEPER’ THAN COLD OR FLU
Scientists have found that the loss of odor related to Covid-19 infection is “much deeper” than a flu or severe exangé.
A team of researchers from all over Europe, adding experts from the University of East Anglia, reports of loss of taste and smell from other people with Covid-19 with those of other upper respiratory tract infections.
In the small test of 30 other people, they also found that, unlike colds or flu, others with Covid-19 find sour or sweet flavors.
MORE THAN 60,000 APPROVED CORONAVIRUS LOANS FOR UK COMPANIES
The government has more than 52 billion pounds of coronavirus assistance for British corporations affected by the pandemic.
Most of this money was provided through the Bounce Back loan program, which can provide small businesses with 100 percent government-guaranteed loans worth up to 50,000 euros.
He said 35.47 billion pounds had been paid to 1174,854 small British businesses in the Treasury’s latest weekly update.
More than 60,000 larger corporations also obtained government-approved loans.
The Treasury said it had now approved 13.68 billion pounds of money for 60409 corporations through the coronavirus discontinuation loan program.
THE UK NOW HAS MORE THAN 57,000 CORONAVIRUS DEATHS
More than 57,000 Covid-19-related deaths have been reported in the UK.
Figures published on Tuesday through the ONS show that 51,935 Covid-19-related deaths occurred in England and Wales until 7 August and were recorded on 15 August.
Figures released last week through National Records for Scotland showed that 4213 Covid-1nine-related deaths had been recorded in Scotland as of 9 August, while 85nine deaths had occurred in Northern Ireland as of 7 August (and had been recorded as of 12 August), according to the Northern Ireland Research and Statistics Agency.
Together, these figures mean that to date, 57,007 deaths have been recorded in the UK, where Covid-19 has been discussed in the death certificate, suspicious cases.
GREATER DEPRESSION
The number of adults suffering from depression is higher in the coronavirus pandemic, the figures of the Office of National Statistics suggested.
ONS data showed that almost one in 10 British adults suffered some form of depression between July 2019 and March 2020.
But during the time when the same organization of 3,500 participants re-evaluated in June, the figure had risen to 19.2%, almost one in five.
Most (84%) of others with some form of depression mentioned that tension and anxiety affected their well-being and 42% reported that their relationships had been affected.
Tim Vizard of the ONS said: “Almost one in five adults suffered from some form of depression during the pandemic, almost doubling one in ten before.
“Young adults, women, unable to afford unforeseen or disabled expenses for others were the highest likely to have suffered some form of pandemic depression.”
ANNOUNCING ‘IRRESPONSIBLE’ BREAKUP OF PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND
Plans to dismantle Public Health England amid a pandemic are “irresponsible” and “ridiculous,” the Labour Party said.
Shadow health secretary Jonathon Ashworth, structural reorganization “takes time” and “undermines energy.”
In a series of scathing tweets, Ashworth said the government seeks to “reject guilt” when it announced its goal of dismantling the besieged organization later.
A short story with The Sunday Telegraph suggests that PHE’s Covid-19 reaction paintings merge with NHS Test and Trace to shape a new fitness coverage institute, designed in particular to deal with pandemics.
Meanwhile, Ashworth said the NHS’s testing and traceability service “outperforms the global as promised.”
Her conservative counterpart, Baroness Harding, former director of Talk Talk who runs the Test and Trace programme in England, is the interim director of the new organisation.
Ashworth said: “Last year, ministers presented PHE’s priorities. They did mention preparing for a pandemic.
“Structural reorganization in the context of a pandemic takes time and consumes energy. It’s really irresponsible.
“And what an insulting way to treat the workers who heard about this in a Sunday newspaper with paywalls, leaving them with questions and considerations about their work.”
On Monday, PHE chief Duncan Selbie wrote to staff saying that “sorry beyond words” the agency informed the media before its staff reported.
SOUTH KOREA FORBIDS LARGE PUBLIC MEETINGS
South Korea will ban giant public gatherings and shut down churches and nightclubs in Seoul after an alarming accumulation of coronavirus cases.
The measures, which will take effect Wednesday in Seoul, neighboring Gyeonggi and Incheon province, prohibit meetings of more than 50 people inside and 100 outside.
Nightclubs, karaoke rooms, buffet restaurants, computer game cafes and other high-risk services will be closed, while churches will have to change places.
South Korea reported 246 new cases of coronavirus on Tuesday, bringing its total days after 959.
8th WEEK OF SUITE, DECESS IN THE FUND IN FIVE YEARS
A total of 8,945 deaths were recorded in England and Wales in the week ending 7 August, according to the Office for National Statistics, 157 below the five-year average of 9,102.
This is the eighth consecutive week that deaths are below the five-year average.
Of the deaths recorded in the week prior to August 7, 152 indexed Covid-19 on the death certificate, the lowest number of Covid-19-related deaths since the week ending March 20 (103 deaths).
WILLIAMSON – ‘DIFFICULT TIME’
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson admitted that the consequences of A-level U-turn cause a “difficult time.”
When asked at LBC if this was the most complicated time of his political career, he said: “It’s a difficult time.
“But every step of the way, I know that every single action we’ve taken, we’ve taken them to act in the most productive interests of academics and maintain the integrity of the system, making sure academics get the results.
When asked if he had come forward (he didn’t), Williamson said he had a “triple” goal: for academics to “get the qualifications they deserve,” reopen schools in September, and make a “revolution” in the school system.

EIGHT PEOPLE LINKED TO THE TEST OF MEN WORKING POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS
Eight other people with ties to a club of male runners tested positive for coronavirus, a local authority said.
Those who visited the Stanley Empire Club in County Durham on August 9 and 10 and were invited to isolate themselves for 14 days from the date of their visit.
They were asked to make sure that other family members also isolated themselves during the two weeks.
The club closed and others in Stanley closed after the outbreak.
Durham County Council has been working with Public Health England and NHS Test and Trace since the first suspected cases were discovered.
PRIVATE HOSPITALS WILL PAY 10 Billion – FOR NHS FACILITATED WAIT
Private hospitals in England will get up to 10 billion pounds over the next four years to treat NHS patients to ease tension on long waiting lists in public gyms after the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Financial Times.
WILLIAMSON REFUSES TO SAY IF HE RESIGNS
Gavin Williamson did not answer the question of whether he would resign – or whether he had submitted his resignation to Boris Johnson – for control of the A-level and GCSE exams.
He told BBC Breakfast: “At each and every level of concern in the formula, there is a general consensus that a moderate instructor assessment formulates the right formula for all parties.
“This is anything that has been done in Scotland through the SNP. This is anything that has been done through the Labour Party and the Lib Dems in Wales. This is anything that has been done through the DUP and Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland and, of course, what we have done here in England as well.
When asked if he would resign, Williamson said, “What we’re doing is focusing on giving notes to those children.
“We are making sure that all schools are returned and I am surely determined in the coming year that I will deliver the most productive school formula in the world.
“MEGA MESS”
Special Committee on Education chairman Robert Halfon described the review as a “mega waste” after warning him of the threat of disadvantaged academics being adversely affected.
When asked who to blame for the disruptions with the examination system, he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “We want to track him down. I’d like to see the record of everything that’s happened.
“We note in our report of the Special Committee on Education published in early July that this would pose significant disruptions and that it could harm the disadvantaged.
“We suggest that Ofqual extend the appeal procedure and publish its model, the so-called algorithm, so that it can be subject to scrutiny. They refused to do so.
“I think we see Ofqual’s minutes and what’s going on with the Department of Education, I also think we know how much he charges the taxpayer just to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
He added: “What happened was a huge waste and I actually regret to all the academics, academics and parents across the country who have been so distressed over the next week because of them.”
Conservative MP Robert Halfon said the disorders with the test formula will be a “mass attention call” for the government.
COVID-19: THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC HEALTH WILL BE REVEALED
The long-term public aptitude in England is expected to be announced later through Secretary of Health Matt Hancock.
Hancock is expected to speak in the Policy Exchange Group The Future of Public Health.
This occurs in the middle of reports that PHE wants to be deleted.
He has been criticized for the prospect of dismantling the fitness firm amid a pandemic.
Ministers were also accused that the BSP was a “scapegoat” for other errors of the crisis.
On Monday, the head of the besieged organization apologized for leaking the news of the organization’s demise.
Duncan Selbie, the executive leader of PHE, said that “sorry beyond words” that the organization’s long-term has been informed by the media before its staff were informed.
POSITIVE TEST OF PRIMARY STUDENTS FOR CORONAVIRUS
Three academics from different number one schools tested positive for coronavirus.
Renfrewshire City Council said a case had been shown at Todholm Primary School in Paisley, while two cases had been detected in pupils from Perth and Kinross.
One student attends Newhill Elementary School in Blairgowrie, while the other attends Oakbank Elementary School in Perth, and lately both are isolated at home with mild symptoms with an immediate circle of family members.
NEARLY 7,000 JOBS REFERRED TO
Around 7,000 jobs are being cut off at retail giant Marks and Spencer as a component of a new reorganization of its retail outlets and control over the coronavirus crisis.
The organization said roles deserve to expand over the next 3 months in stores, regional control, and its center.
M-S expects a “significant” number of roles to be eliminated through voluntary retirement and early retirement, while stating that it will also create jobs through increased investment in the online garage and its new environmental food warehouse.
This is because the overall sales of your clothing and home business, which has been heavily affected, fell by 29.9% in the 8 weeks following the reopening of stores, with a drop in store sales of 47.9% and a 39.2% drop in online sales.
He said sales declines were improving but that “it is clear that there has been a significant replacement in trade.”
VICTORY OUTBREAK LINKED TO QUATANT HOTELS
Almost all cases of coronavirus in Victoria, Australia, can be attributed to travelers who returned to quarantine, to an investigation.
The investigation also revealed that guards at quarantined hotels had won “inappropriate” advice.
The guards were informed that masks and other protections would be needed, provided they had a reputation for a social distance of 1.5 m.
Victoria is blocked lately due to a wave of infections.
Stricter restrictions were put in place on the “fourth stage” in the city of Melbourne on 2 August for six weeks.
On Monday, Victoria recorded 25 more deaths and 282 new instances of the virus, making it the deadliest day in the state since the start of the pandemic.
QUESTIONS REMAIN FOR WILLIAMSON AFTER A LIFE RUN IN GCSE AND A-LEVEL GRADES
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson faces calls for clarity for academics and universities after his screams of a return on GCSE and A-level ratings in England.
Williamson lowered the rating that the estimated effects of teachers can be used after developing anger in the A-level rating of about 40% through the Ofqual test regulator based on a questionable algorithm.
The Cabinet Minister apologized for the “anguish” over the deserted policy of achieving fair effects for academics who were unable to take the test due to the coronavirus crisis.
Conservative MP and Select Committee on Education Chairman Robert Halfon wrote in The Sun: “This is a huge mess. But it’s better to correct anything than to continue with the disaster.
Thousands more people will now get higher grades, but questions have been left unanswered for universities, which were removed from a limit on tenders, and students, who still face uncertainty about university offerings.
Alistair Jarvis, managing director of Universities UK, which represents vice-chancellors, called for them to “urgently clarify” a number of “crucial issues.”
He said the “overdue stage” replenishment will “pose challenges” in terms of capacity and the body of workers, as he called on ministers to “strengthen and universities.”
Other questions similar to whether academics who have accepted an offer in moderate grades can replace colleges and when academics will get their new grades.
Williamson said he had acted after realizing over the weekend that there were “real concerns” about the results, but his intervention at such an outdated level led some critics to call for his resignation.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Williamson had in the past championed the “robust” system, while the Education Secretary insisted that “there would be no U.S. change, no replacement, and said a replacement can lead to “progressive rating inflation.”
Halfon told The Sun that the Conservative Party had one of their lives in the “fiasco.”
He wrote that it was the blue-collar staff who gave the Conservatives the “thumbs up” in the last general election, but that it was “the disadvantaged youth who were defrauded by clumsy bureaucrats in this agonizing chaos. place again.”
Ofqual’s chairman, Roger Taylor, admitted that the regulator had taken the “wrong path” and apologized.
MORE ON LEICESTER’S POTENTIAL LOCKDOWN ELEVATOR
Now that cases are declining, Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to ease Leicester’s restrictions to the fullest.
Officials conducted a review of Leicester’s knowledge on Monday, but the announcement was delayed due to a vanquished error in the numbers.
A spokesman for No. 10 said the blocking restrictions remained “under constant control.”
When asked if the measures in Leicester could simply rise, he said: “We continue to maintain all spaces in consistent conditions and where we can alleviate the restrictions, we have done so.”
Leicester’s seven-day infection rate is 135 cases, consisting of 100,000 at the end of June.
Cases have now been halved to 67 cases per 100,000.
‘STARTING TO BEND’ CURVE IN AUSTRALIA
Australia’s most populous state at the time, Victoria, has reported 17 coronavirus deaths in the past 24 hours, a day after recording its deadliest day of the pandemic with 25 victims.
The state also reported 222 new cases of coronavirus compared to 282 on Monday, suggesting that the six-week level 4 blockade in the city of Melbourne is beginning to bend Covid’s curve.
COVID COULD CAUSE TYPE 1 DIABETES IN CHILDREN
Coronavirus can cause type 1 diabetes in children, scientists warn.
The number of new patients with the disease doubled in hospitals in north-west London after the closure, leading to fears that it was connected to Covid-19.
Thirty young people were admitted to hospitals in 4 NHS trusts with newly evolving type 1 diabetes between March 23, the beginning of the closure, and June 4.
Two hospitals reported 10 cases each; however, doctors would have waited two to four.
Nearly three-quarters of young people had diabetic ketoacidosis (CDA), a serious complication, and part of them had a severe form of it.
