The figures are based on tests in hospitals and other healthcare settings, known as pillar one testing, and tests in the wider community, known as pillar two.

The daily updates from the Department for Health only include pillar one results, providing a less complete picture of rates of infection across the country.

Nationally, the latest statistics from Public Health England show the number of cases detected fell from nearly 5,800 to just over 4,100, with more than three quarters of new cases now being detected through testing outside of hospitals.
