UKHSA Latest Data – ENGLAND ONLY

  • 278 deaths in England [within 28 days of first positive test result for COVID-19] were reported in the last 7 days.
  • 40,270 new coronavirus infections in the last 7 days according to the latest England data report - the actual number England-wide is potentially significantly higher.
  • 170,840 coronavirus infections have been reported across England in the last 28 days according to data in the latest England data report.
  • The number of deaths in England in the past week equates on average to around 39.7 deaths each of the past 7 days. If this was to be the “new normal” for daily deaths caused by COVID-19, then annually this would equate to around 14,496 deaths across England.
  • Meanwhile, a total of 2,144 deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported across England in the last 28 days.
  • 443 COVID-19 hospital admissions in England occurred on 4 June 2022.
  • 4,126 patients suffering from COVID-19 are currently occupying hospital beds in England – reported as of 6 June 2022.
  • 120 COVID-19 patients are occupying mechanical ventilation beds in England - according to the data reported on 6 June 2022.
  • All three of these healthcare measures continue to be a concern for our under-pressure NHS.

SO FAR:

  • 858 days since the first infection due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was reported in Britain (31 January 2020)
  • 822 days since the first reported death in Britain (6 March 2020). Coronavirus has now been responsible for infecting around 18.8 million people in England (according to the official reported positive cases data)

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 doesn’t take a break at weekends.
It doesn’t show up twice a week only.
It doesn’t 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 – probably more accurate than the UK Government’s own data since free testing has ended in England.

Please support our work to help us to continue our COVID reporting: Donate now.

🧩 Long COVID


Researchers still don’t know precisely how many get long Covid, what causes it or how best to treat it.

About 1 in 5 US adults have health problems from COVID long after they first test positive, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Researchers say more study is needed on the effectiveness of booster shots against long COVID.

Research carried out in the Mater Hospital in Dublin has found significant evidence of brain-related neurological and psychiatric conditions among Irish patients with long Covid.
