COMMENT
New COVID cases remain fairly flat, hovering at just under 120,000 a day, though weโre starting to see signs of an increase across the youngest age groups and in Scotland. Professor Tim Spector suspects other regions and age groups may follow suit.

comment
Since February, the UKHSA has stopped publishing COVID updates at weekends. Now they take place on Mondays and Thursdays only. Since 20 May, the UK dashboard has stopped updating Northern Ireland data altogether and updates Wales on Thursdays only.
The virus doesnโt take a break at weekends.
It doesnโt show up twice a week only.
It doesnโt stop at a border either.
It spreads and kills people every day in the UK and around the world.
We, at PMP, have decided to continue to publish the latest COVID data available every day, especially the Zoe COVID Study estimates โ probably more accurate than the UK Governmentโs own data since free testing has ended in England.
Please support our work to help us to continue our COVID reporting: Donate now.
