These reports summarise the surveillance of influenza, COVID-19 and other seasonal respiratory illnesses.

Weekly findings from community, primary care, secondary care and mortality surveillance systems are included in the reports.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the 2020 to 2021 season the weekly reports will be published all year round.

This page includes reports published from 8 October 2020 to the 8 July 2021.

Due to a misclassification of 2 subgroups within the Asian and Asian British and Black and Black British ethnic categories, the proportions of deaths for these ethnic categories in reports published between week 27 2021 and week 29 2021 were incorrect. These have been corrected from week 30 2021 report onwards.

The impact of the correction specifically affects the proportion of deaths with an Asian and Asian British and/or Black and Black British ethnic categories. The total number of deaths reported was unaffected. Other ethnicity data included in the reports were not affected by this issue.

These statistics on transport use are published monthly.

For each day, the Department for Transport (DfT) produces statistics on domestic transport:

• road traffic in Great Britain
• rail passenger journeys in Great Britain
• Transport for London (TfL) tube and bus routes
• bus travel in Great Britain (excluding London)

The associated methodology notes set out information on the data sources and methodology used to generate these headline measures.

From September 2023, these statistics include a second rail usage time series which excludes Elizabeth Line service (and other relevant services that have been replaced by the Elizabeth line) from both the travel week and its equivalent baseline week in 2019. This allows for a more meaningful like-for-like comparison of rail demand across the period because the effects of the Elizabeth Line on rail demand are removed. More information can be found in the methodology document.

The table below provides the reference of regular statistics collections published by DfT on these topics, with their last and upcoming publication dates.
