The PM has said he hopes a "gradual and phased" relaxation of Covid restrictions can begin in early March.

Boris Johnson told MPs he intended to set out a plan for how the lockdown in England could be eased and the criteria involved in the final week of February.

Factors will include death and hospitalisation numbers, progress of vaccinations and changes in the virus.

Covid infections remain high but stable

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55858658

The number of Covid infections remained virtually unchanged in the week to 23 January, Office for National Statistics figures suggest.

Infections remain high in England, with London continuing to have the worst epidemic, the ONS said. But the virus appears to be levelling off throughout the rest of the UK.

The ONS tests a random sample of people in private residences across the UK for Covid weekly, whether they have symptoms or not. This means the survey is among the best sources for understanding what's really happening to the virus.

According to ONS estimates, one in 55 people in England were estimated to have the virus, one in 70 in Wales, one in 110 in Scotland and one in 50 in Northern Ireland.

In England and Wales, this proportion is unchanged compared with the week before. Scotland has seen a small fall, and Northern Ireland a small rise in their infection rates.
Infections are lower than levels seen in early January but now appear to be flattening at what is still a high level.

This pattern is in contrast with the confirmed cases published on the government's dashboard, which show a dramatic spike followed by a very steep fall after the beginning of the year.

These figures may be skewed by people coming forward for testing in large numbers around the Christmas period, with numbers of tests conducted falling after the first week of January.

The ONS's data published on Friday broadly echoes the findings from other surveillance studies, which are not influenced by who comes forward for testing in the same way.

Record number of daily vaccinations in UK

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-55876866

The UK has carried out the highest number of coronavirus vaccinations in one day, government figures show.

The figures show 598,389 received their first dose on Saturday.

The previous record was set last Saturday when the UK reported 491,970 doses in a single day.

It brings the total number of people to receive their first dose of a Covid vaccine to 8,977,329, with another 491,053 receiving their second dose.

Public Health England's Dr Susan Hopkins expects to start seeing the impact of vaccinations in the next two weeks.
Excellent news .....

Vaccination, as rolled out by the NHS, is, so far, a phenomenal success story and puts the privately-run test and trace service (run by "Incompetent" Harding) to shame - the latter has only now, after months of totally inadequate testing (costing £22,000,000,000!), started to achieve its' targets ..... Well done, the NHS .....

  • Cases have fallen dramatically .....
  • Deaths have fallen noticeably .....
  • Hospitalisations have fallen noticeably (as of 27/1) .....
  • Tests have fallen (as of 31/1) .....

Signs of recovery/improvement are there but it wouldn't take much to reverse the trend ..... a few days laxity, an aggressive variant .....
