Point of order. The Headline states "Supermarkets most common exposure setting for catching coronavirus in England, latest data suggests" and not "the most popular place to catch Covid" as the right honourable lady suggests. Furthermore, Secondary school - 12.7% and Primary school - 10.1% should be classed as "school" giving 28.2% chance of catching covid at school. You could split the states into individual supermarket chains and find out that Waitrose is 2% and Asda is 8% for example,

I wrote it from a radio news headline posted and found a Sky News Link.

The data for schools is split due to the children's ages.

The government and various scientists are claiming either that children aren't vectors for transmission or that primary school children don't cause as much transmission as secondary school children.

There was some study in Spain that revealed dog walkers are more likely to contract COVID. I can't remember where I saw it which is a bit rubbish.

I saw that as well and thought

Edited to say: I didn't see it in the Fail but that's the first link I've found.

"Household fewer than five - 1.2%"

But none for "Household 5 or more". So absolutely NO-ONE broke the rules.

Typical ignorant media spouting figures to fill space without even understanding things.

All that tells us is that 18% of people who were contacted went shopping in a supermarket.

One would hope the chance of catching CV in a pub is very small when they're shut
