The figure for the number of people tested has “temporarily paused to ensure consistent reporting” across all methods of testing.
Meanwhile due to differences in how individual health bodies and the Office for National Statistics report figures, the DHSC’s figures do not include all deaths involving Covid-19 across the UK, which are believed to have now passed 53,500.
