I wonder how meaningful these stats will become, since the testing kits are no longer free?

[SteveH]

I said the same thing a couple of days ago "Not sure how relevant stats are after testing being halted, but I'll keep posting while figures available" I am also posting the weekly Zoe Covid tracker updates, which I find informative.

FrommNew Scientist today:

Latest coronavirus news as of midday 11 April

An estimated one in 13 people in England, Wales and Scotland were infected at the start of April

Covid-19 infections remain high, with an estimated one in 16 people having the infection in Northern Ireland and one in 13 people in the rest of the UK over the first weekend of April, according to an Office for National Statistics (ONS) survey.

This equates to just under 4.9 million people being infected across the UK – 25,000 fewer cases than the previous week’s record high.

“While infections remain high, there are early signs in our latest data that they may no longer be increasing in some parts of the UK,” Sarah Crofts at ONS said in a statement.

“Across English regions, there is a mixed picture in trends and we have seen a welcome decrease in Scotland. However, rates in Wales continue to rise and the trend in Northern Ireland is uncertain.

“It is too early to say if infections have peaked in England and Scotland.”

The ONS survey swabs thousands of random people for SARS-CoV-2 virus, regardless of whether they have symptoms, and is unaffected by the end of free universal testing.
