This report shows the number of cases and associated deaths from COVID-19 over time. It reports on overall trends for England and English regions as well as highlighting those local authorities with the highest rates for the current data and the latest non-provisional day.

For information about the data, please see the guidance on Public Health England’s data portal or for the official data please see Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the UK Dashboard.

When reading this report, please also bear the following in mind:

Lab-confirmed cases

These figures relate to confirmed cases of COVID-19 following a positive test either via "Pillar 1" or "Pillar 2" testing regimes. They do not cover all cases of COVID-19 which may exist.
A case is assigned to the date on which the first test for it took place, as it can take some time for PHE to be notified of test results, figures for the last five days are provisional.
Figures will be revised daily as new cases tested on those days are reported which will result in a higher figure than initially reported.
The local authority to which a case is attributed is that in which the patient normally resides, not necessarily the local authority in which they are currently being treated.
Cases include people who are recovered.
The total number for England is not the sum of all local authorities as some cases are awaiting geographical information.
The value for Cornwall includes cases in both Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Lab-confirmed deaths in all settings

This report also includes the number of deaths from COVID-19 for England: this is the deaths since the start of the pandemic of people who had had a positive test result for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. The actual cause of death may not be COVID-19 in all cases. People who died from COVID-19 but had not tested positive are not included and people who died from COVID-19 more than 28 days after their first positive test are not included.
