The disease of coronavirus infection is declining in most age groups, with the exception of people aged 18 to 34, and among the elderly over 75 years of age. The evidence of this phenomenon is the data from the ZOE Covid Study app, which collects data on cases across the UK.

Scientists say that the study of the data on the average incidence rate over the past two weeks shows a 7% chance of reinfection. Most of the talk is about infection with the Omicron infection, which today predominates in the United Kingdom. Headache, runny nose, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat are still the main symptoms of infection, said the Daily Express.

According to the World Health Organization, the most vulnerable population groups to infection with the "omicron" variant of coronavirus are unvaccinated people, the elderly and those with related chronic diseases.
