Important Notice:
On 15th February 2022, Symptomatic COVID prevalence data published on the ZOE COVID Symptom Study website changed: The published data start data shifted from 12th June 2020 to 11th November 2021.
This change has affected a number of live data visualisations on our datahub. We are currently working on a simple solution to allow visualisation of pre-November 2021 data within live graphs and analysis.
In May 2022, data published by the UK government regarding a number COVID swab test metrics changed, with key live data no-longer available. Consequentially, some of our live visualisations based on swab test data, only show data up to this point in time.
New Cases
UK Positive Tests
Estimated no. of new daily SARS-CoV-2 infections (incidence), derived from UK PCR test positivity.
Active Cases
XiScience Model
Estimated no. of actively infectious cases of SARS-CoV-2 in UK using our in-house model
Active Cases
Symptom Study Data
Estimated no. of active symptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 in UK from COVID Symptom Study
Active Cases
Infection Survey Data
Estimated no. of active cases of SARS-CoV-2 in England (grey) and UK (blue), from national random swab testing
Active Cases
R(<50) = 0.67, R(≥50) = 0.75
Prevalence (%) by age in England (13 Mar 22 - 23 Apr 22). Blue: Age <50, Green: Age 50+.
Active Cases
Young : Old Ratio
The number of under 25s (blue) and 17s (green) with active COVID for every over 50 with active COVID.
Mortality
Changes in Mortality
L.Blue: 28 Day deaths by pub date; D.Blue: 28 Day deaths by death date; Red: All with COVID on cert.
Virulence
Hospitalisation Ratio
The daily number of COVID hospitalisations per 100,000 actively infectious cases in UK.
Virulence
Mortality Ratio
The daily number of COVID deaths per 100,000 actively infectious cases in UK.
R Number
UK R = 1.11 - 1.15
Estimation of current UK nCoV19 basic reproduction number (R), based on Symptom Study data
R Number
UK R = 0.89 - 0.85
Estimation of current UK nCoV19 basic reproduction number (R), based on swab test data
Hospitals & Mortality
UK Hospitals Now:
COVID New hospital admissions on 11th Sep 2022 were 544. The average admissions over the seven days up to 11th Sep 2022 was 563, which equates to 13.3% of the January 2021 peak.
COVID Hospital occupancy on 15th Sep 2022 was 5729. The average occupancy over the seven days up to 15th Sep 2022 was 5844, which equates to 15.2% of the January 2021 peak.
UK Mortality Now:
The average number of daily deaths within 28 days of test (by the date reported) over the seven days up to 20th May 2022 was 104, which equates to 8.3% of the January 2021 peak.
The average number of daily deaths within 28 days of test (by date of death) over the seven days up to 15th May 2022 was 101, which equates to 7.9% of the January 2021 peak.
The average number of daily deaths mentioning COVID on death certificate (by date of death) over the seven days up to 5th Sep 2022 was 19, which equates to 1.4% of the January 2021 peak.
Key Datasets Aligned
Prevalence data, incidence data, hospital admission data and deaths (28 day) by date of death data, have been time-shifted and scaled to align with a peak value of 100% at the January 2021 peak. Clicking legend items below will toggle data on/off. Mouse rollover a dataset to show all percentage for a given date. As with the majority of data on this datahub, these graphs update live as new data is published.

The dataset alignments shown above are aligned to the dates from the COVID-19 Infection Survey, which is published weekly by the ONS. Comparing the dates shown here for each dataset, with its respective un-shifted published date, gives us an approximate idea of the real world lag between different datasets. These lags are shown in the legend; e.g., the latest data published for the COVID Symptom Study is nine days behind (t-9) the latest data published in the ONS Infection Data (t). It is important to note that this does not necessarily mean these datasets represent real-world events that happen nine days apart, but rather the same trend appearing in these two datasets, arises nine days apart.
