For more information see: Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK - About the Data. Cases Data UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reports new and cumulative cases identified by Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 testing. Pillar 1 testing relates to tests carried out in UKHSA laboratories or NHS Hospitals for those with clinical need, and health and care workers. Pillar 2 testing relates to tests carried out on the wider population in Lighthouse laboratories, public, private, and academic sector laboratories or using lateral flow devices. The cases data is published by day for Countries within the UK, and Regions, Upper Tier Local Authority (UTLA) and Lower Tier Local Authority (LTLA) within England. The data used here is taken from the regional and UTLA level cases data. Notice: Changes to COVID-19 case reporting As of 31 January 2022, UKHSA moved all COVID-19 case reporting in England to use an episode-based definition which includes possible reinfections. Those testing positive beyond 90 days of a previous infection are now counted as a separate infection episode (a possible reinfection episode). Previously people who tested positive for COVID-19 were only counted once in case numbers published on the daily dashboard, at the date of the first infection. Full details of the changes can be found here Changes to COVID-19 testing in England The availability of free COVID-19 tests in England changed on 1 April 2022. Information on who can access free tests has been published by UKHSA. Changes to patient testing in the NHS in England have also been published by NHS England. Deaths data Data on COVID-19 associated deaths in England are produced by UKHSA from multiple sources linked to confirmed case data. Deaths are only included if the deceased had a positive test for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. Postcode of residence for deaths is collected at the time of testing. This is supplemented, where available, with information from ONS mortality records, Health Protection Team reports and NHS Digital Patient Demographic Service records. Full details of the methodology are available in the technical summary of the PHE data series on deaths in people with COVID-19. Hospital admissions data UKHSA publish the daily total number of patients admitted to hospital, patients in hospital and patients in beds which can deliver mechanical ventilation with COVID-19. In England this includes COVID-19 patients being treated in NHS acute hospitals, mental health and learning disability trusts, and independent service providers commissioned by the NHS. Vaccination data UKHSA publish the number of people who have received a COVID-19 vaccination, by day on which the vaccine was administered. Data are reported daily and can be updated for historical dates as vaccinations given are recorded on the relevant system. Therefore, data for recent dates may be incomplete. Vaccinations that were carried out in England are reported in the National Immunisation Management Service which is the system of record for the vaccination programme in England. Only people aged 12 and over who have an NHS number and are currently alive are included. Age is defined as a person's age at 31 August 2021. The data includes counts of vaccinations by age band, dose, region, and local authority. Additional analysis of the vaccine roll out in London can be found here. ONS population estimates The counts of vaccines given has been converted to percentage of the population vaccinated using the ONS 2020 mid-year population estimates. This is a different population estimate to that used on the UK Coronavirus Dashboard for sub-national data. The UK Coronavirus Dashboard uses people aged 16 and over in the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS), which is based on GP registrations. In more urban areas like London, NIMS is likely to give an overestimate of the population due to increased population mobility increasing the likelihood duplicate or out of date GP records. Due to the differences in population estimates the percentage of the population vaccinated given here will be higher than the figures included for London on the UK Coronavirus Dashboard.
