[1/14] 17,224 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (27-Apr).
Overall England is DOWN 35% on previous Wednesday and day-1 lateral flow positives are also down by 47%.
England has now been showing consistent week-on-week drops since the 25th of March (33 days ago).
[2/14] Chart to show England positive tests (as of 27-Apr) by breakdown of first infection events and possible reinfection events.
Possible reinfections were added to the data from 31-Jan and the rolling average vs. total tests is currently about 13%.
[3/14] Animated chart to show LFD-only positives being either converted into PCR confirmed positives or removed due to negattive confirmation, over the last 14 days of reports.
[4/14] Pivot table of daily changes to LFD Only and LFD Confirmed by PCR figures to see if we can identify where LFDs are now being removed due to negative follow-up PCRs.
[5/14] England positive tests by type of test used. Version with the rolling average percentage of tests from LFD.
[6/14] England positive tests by type of test, percentage view to help see change in proportions.
[7/14] Longer term view. 17,224 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (27-Apr). This brings the rolling average by specimen date (allowing 4 days for lag) to 20,872, equivalent to around 26-Jun (i.e. 298 days ago), a reduction of 9043 (30%) in the last week.
[8/14] Longer term charts for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
[9/14] 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.
[10/14] Separate charts for England (13481) Scotland (3194) Wales (184) and Northern Ireland (365). 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.
[11/14] 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.
[12/14] And England regions, starting with North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber and West Midlands. Again, note the different scales.
[13/14] Plus East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. Again, note the different scales.
