[1/12] 3,862 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (28-Mar). Given new mass LFD testing in schools, this chart may be the best to lead with now as it splits out the test type used (only at England level though). Will revise further as we get a better feel for this data.
[2/12] Animated chart to show LFD-only positives being converted into PCR confirmed positives over the last 14 days of reports.
[3/12] England positive tests by type of test used. Version with the rolling average percentage of tests from LFD.
[4/12] England positive tests by type of test, percentage view to help see change in proportions.
[5/12] Longer term view. 3,862 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (28-Mar). This brings the rolling average by specimen date (allowing 4 days for lag) to 5,373 - which is a reduction of 3% in the last week.
[6/12] Longer term charts for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
[7/12] Closer look at the latest 45 days, with today's added numbers highlighted in yellow. Individual nations and animated England charts further down the thread.
[8/12] Separate charts for England (3153) Scotland (422) Wales (171) and Northern Ireland (116). Note the different scales. Also on certain days the specimen-date data for Scotland/Wales/NI doesn't get updated so the yellow bars may be mising or include multiple day's numbers.
[9/12] Animated chart to show how the #covid19uk positive tests by specimen date have been contributed to by reports over the last 7 days. Note this just includes England numbers as other nations don't always publish their specimen date numbers every day.
[10/12] And England regions, starting with North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber and West Midlands. Again, note the different scales.
[11/12] Plus East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. Again, note the different scales.
[12/12] And finally, London
