Results from the latest REACT-1 study from Imperial College London and Ipsos Mori showed one in 170 people in England had coronavirus between 24 June and 5 July. According to the study, men are a third more likely to test positive for Covid-19 than women, according to scientists - and mass gatherings for Euro 2020 may be the reason why. This is the first time scientists have distinguished a difference in infections among men and women. The Sky reported that experts suggest the fluctuations are likely to be caused by social mixing and men having "more social activity than usual".
