Abstract

After lifting of all COVID-19 preventive measures in England in July 2021, marked, widespread increases in gonorrhea diagnoses, but not testing numbers, were observed, particularly in persons 15–24 years of age. Continued close surveillance and public health messaging to young persons are needed to control and prevent gonorrhea transmission.
