Re: COVID-19: NHS chiefs warn of 'third wave' of cases amid concerns over Christmas relax

UK cases and deaths will be updated every day throughout the holiday period, with the following service changes:
  • England: data updated daily
  • Northern Ireland: no data on 24–28 December
  • Scotland: no deaths data on 25–28 December and 1–4 January
  • Wales: no data on 25 December and 1 January
UK totals for each day will reflect the sum of the nations which reported data. Cases and deaths that would have been reported during these periods are likely to instead be reported on the following days. As a result, any changes to published data should be interpreted with caution during this period, as they may be a result of changes to reporting schedules.

Only Cases and Deaths have been recently updated and they, of course, are dependent on returns, which may be delayed.

41,385 Daily Cases is a new (unwelcome) record .....

Concern at 'unprecedented' infection level in England

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55462701

England's "very high" Covid infection level is a "growing concern" as the NHS struggles to cope with rising patient numbers, a health official has said.

On Monday, a further 41,385 Covid cases and 357 deaths were reported in the UK.

Some data for Scotland and Northern Ireland is not being released over the Christmas period.

Dr Yvonne Doyle, medical director at Public Health England, said: "Despite unprecedented levels of infection, there is hope on the horizon."

She urged members of the public to "continue to play our part in stopping the spread of the virus" as the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine is rolled out.

"This very high level of infection is of growing concern at a time when our hospitals are at their most vulnerable, with new admissions rising in many regions," Dr Doyle said in a statement.

Monday's figure for new cases is the highest daily number reported by the UK government, and the first time the daily total has surpassed 40,000.

However, it is thought the infection rate was much higher during the first peak in April - but testing capacity was too limited to detect the true number.

Scotland is not releasing data around deaths between 24 and 28 December, while Northern Ireland is not providing either case or death data.

There were 21,286 people in hospital with coronavirus across the UK on 22 December - the last day for which data is available - according to government figures.

Hospitals in Wales, Scotland and the south of England have reported a rising pressure on their services as the number of Covid patients rises.

The president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine said she saw "wall to wall Covid" when she worked at one London hospital on Christmas Day.

Dr Katherine Henderson told the BBC there was a "great deal of difficulty" getting patients into wards.
The situation will only get worse through January as the result of Xmas "mixing" becomes apparent .....

53,135 new cases cases - another record daily figure, partly down to a Christmas lag in reporting but also reflecting the fast-spreading new variant .....

Hi

We have low covid rates locally, higher rates in other parts of the own.

The regional rise in rates is having an impact however.

Our local Hospital is taking cases from Wales and the Midlands where the hospitals cannot cope.

This is having an effect here.

Good News:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55280671

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved for use in the UK, with the first doses due to be given on Monday.

There will be 530,000 doses available from next week, and vaccination centres will now start inviting patients to come and get the jab.

It is hoped that about two million patients a week could soon be vaccinated with two vaccines now approved.
