Update just published in the site this week:
Updates will move to Thursdays from 1 September 2022
From 1 September 2022, the COVID-19 Dashboard will move to reporting on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays. The last Wednesday update of the Dashboard was therefore on 31 August 2022. Updates will be published every Thursday at 4pm commencing on 8 September 2022.
Daily data up to the most recent available will continue to be added in each weekly update.
This will align the COVID-19 dashboard reporting with NHS England reporting of hospital statistics and with reporting on cases and deaths in Wales.
For more information, read the NHS England release.
For long-term preservation purposes, a screenshot:
The graphs in the “dashboard” compare week to week (rolling/sliding) rather than equivalent times of the year across years. That’s misleading and the media likes to do the same.
