Eight-week scenarios for daily hospital admissions in England over a range of effective R values reflecting the possible impact of increased contacts from 6 September

Highly unlikely unless waning immunity were to play a greater role or a new variant of concern were to emerge

Epidemic trajectory likely to sit between R=1.1 and R=1.5
