		</div><p>An average of 148,000 people in England had coronavirus at any given time between April 27 and May 10, according to new estimates by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).</p>
<p>The results of the pilot study suggest an average of 0.27% of the community population, or one in 370 people – excluding health and care workers – were infected with the virus over the period.</p>
<p>However, among people working in patient-facing healthcare and resident-facing social care roles, 1.33% tested positive for Covid-19.</p>
<p>This includes NHS professionals, such as nurses and doctors, as well as social care workers, such as nursing home or home care workers.</p>
<p>For those reporting not working in these roles, 0.22% tested positive.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>The ONS said there was<i> “no evidence”</i> of differences in the proportions of people testing positive for coronavirus between different age categories.</p>
<p>The estimated percentages of the sample who tested positive for Covid-19, broken down by age, were: 2-19 years old: 0.32%; 20-40 years old: 0.26%; 50 to 69 years old: 0.32%; 70 years and over: 0.23%.</p>
<p>The figures are based on 10,705 swab tests collected from people participating in the recently launched Coronavirus (Covid-19) infection survey, which is being produced by the ONS in partnership with the University of Oxford, the University of Manchester, Public Health England and the Wellcome Trust.</p>
<p>Out of the 10,705 tests, 33 individuals in 30 households tested positive for the virus.</p>
<p>The survey is designed to help track the current extent of infection and transmission of Covid-19 among the community population – specifically private households.</p>
<p>As such, the survey excludes infections reported in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings.</p>
<p>The ONS is also running a bigger long-term study to track the spread of Covid-19 in the general population.</p>
<p>The wider study, which will include up to 300,000 people, includes antibody testing to help understand how many people have had Covid-19 in the past.<br />
