9,900 in England

11,300 new cases across the UK

17 % down on last week

By combining COVID swab testing with data from the COVID Symptom Study app, we are able to estimate the number of new daily COVID cases within the community

‘This new incidence rate will be capturing the day-to-day change in the disease which means we will be able to tell the active status of the virus within the population. As a result we will know whether the infection rate is stable, falling or increasing very quickly which will influence decisions around loosening lockdown.’ (Tim Specter)
