Does anyone know what last Monday's numbers were at the time? Please
@isthisok22 if you mean a true like for like comparison then as far as England goes.
9591 reported today with a spec date of yesterday as compared with 6305 for the equivalent reporting point last week.
The figure for Saturday now stands at 18328, with 13426 added today. Equivalent last Monday was 14442 for the Saturday after two days, with 10425 of them added on the Monday reporting.
Of the cases reported today for England just under 87% had a spec date of yesterday or Saturday.
Of the 9591 cases showing with yesterday’s spec date, 9575 have a confirmed age band.
3657 , or 38%, are in the 10-14 age band.
For context the previous Sunday spec date now totals 17364 cases, with 3395 of these in the 10-14 age band.
As far as Saturday 18th goes 18290 cases, again this is just England, with an age band confirmed. Of these 4758 in the 10-14s, so just over 1 in 4.
So for that age band the upward trend, as shown in the age tables I posted yesterday, continues to gather pace.
At the moment, although it is certainly a little too early to draw any firm conclusions, no obvious signs of seepage into the older age bands.
