> Latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show 89.8% of adults in England are likely to have the antibodies, with the highest percentage of adults testing positive for them estimated to be the age groups 60 to 64, 70 to 74 and 75 to 79 (all 96.8%).

> The lowest percentage was for 16 to 24-year-olds at around 59.7%.

> In Wales, 91.8% of adults are estimated to have antibodies in their system
