THREE new COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Warrington according to the latest data from Public Health England with infection rates more than half the national average.
*Revision to historical case data in England. The introduction of a new system disrupted the removal of cases where a positive rapid lateral flow test was followed by all negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests taken within 3 days.
These 4,776 cases have now been removed. Newly-reported cases for the UK and England were unaffected. Historical published date totals have not been changed, although 20 cases have been removed from Warrington’s figures.
Newly-reported cases at regional and local authority level within England are calculated as the daily change in the total number of cases. This means that for 18 May 2021, these show significantly lower numbers or zero, and do not reflect the actual number of new cases reported on that date, of which three have been reported in Warrington.
