Important Notice:

Many of the datasets visualised this site are either no-longer being updated at source, or are now published in a very different form, so cannot be visualized in comparison to their previous form. Due to this, many of live graphs are no-longer live, but instead contain historical data up to the mentioned change in the specific dataset.

Hospitals & Mortality

UK Hospitals Now:

  • COVID New hospital admissions on 11th Sep 2022 were 542. The average admissions over the seven days up to 11th Sep 2022 was 561, which equates to 13.3% of the January 2021 peak.

  • COVID Hospital occupancy on 12th Jul 2023 was 1325. The average occupancy over the seven days up to 12th Jul 2023 was 1173, which equates to 3.1% 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 13th Nov 2023 was 38, which equates to 2.8% 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.
