The sooner we get an idea of infection rates the better but looks like there are big differences across the regions.
“Around 5% of Briton's had been infected with Covid-19 at the start of April, according to a new study from St Andrew's University.
The study also found Scotland had a lower infection rate than England by 3 April.
Infection rates were highest in urban areas, with more than 10% of London's population predicted to have been infected.
Meanwhile some remote and rural areas of the UK had not seen any cases at all.
Professor Hill Kulu said: “The good news is that because the coronavirus is not widely spread, and the number of active cases has declined during the lockdown, its suppression and control is possible with various public health measures before the cure and vaccine become available."
