Coronavirus: Highest Rates of Weekly Cases Since Testing and Tracking System Launched | UK News
The weekly number of coronavirus cases in England has increased by 43%, according to new data.
In the seven days before September 2, a total of 9,864 people tested positive for COVID-19…
This is the highest weekly rate since the launch of the state testing and tracking system in late May.
This is despite the fact that the number of people being tested is leveling off.
Boris Johnson said that due to the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus, especially among young people, from this Monday, a maximum of six people in England can get together indoors and outdoors.…
The number of positive cases has increased since the beginning of July and is now 12% higher than the number recorded when the scheme began on May 28.
The number of people tested has increased since mid-June but has stabilized over the past five weeks.
Also, in the week before September 2, about 30% of close contacts of people with a positive test result were not covered by the scheme.
The achieved figure of 69.2% is the lowest percentage in a week since the launch of the system.
This figure fell slightly from 69.8% in the previous week.
For coronavirus In cases involving local medical teams, 96.6% of contacts were reached and asked to self-isolate during the week before September 2.
In contrast, in those cases that were considered either online or in call centers, 61.3% of close contacts were made and asked to isolate themselves.
Contacts were more likely in the Southwest and Southeast than in the Northwest, West Midlands and Yorkshire.
Only 42% of contacts were received in Bradford for cases resolved online or in call centers. This is the lowest rate among local authorities in England.
For the cases in Peterborough, 46% of contacts were achieved, for Blackburn with Darwen this figure is 48%, and for Kirklees and Nottingham it is 49%.
The total number of close contacts identified has decreased by 41% since contact tracing began.
This was due to a decrease in the number of difficult close contacts identified, including people who work or have recently visited a hospital, nursing home or prison.
Amid a sharp rise in coronavirus cases across the country, the prime minister pinned their hopes on a new mass test regime piloted in England next month.
Asked by Sky News political editor Beth Rigby if people without a mass trial should agree to hold small gatherings on Christmas Day, the prime minister said it was “too early to say.”
However, he said he “hopes” the new restrictions will ease the current surge.
Johnson admitted that the rules regarding the coronavirus have become “complex and confusing.”
He said the latest move, the most ambitious since the lockdown was eased this summer, was aimed at “simplifying and strengthening the rules” and “making them easier for everyone to understand.”
