26th January Stats

No update to hospitalisation figures has been received from NHS England. Missing figures will be included in the next update.

Because of technical issues, Public Health Wales have been unable to publish vaccination figures. UK figures include updated data from England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Missing figures will be included in the next update.

From 31 January 2022, UKHSA will move all COVID-19 case reporting in England to use a new episode-based definition which includes possible reinfections. On the dashboard, this means:

  • cases in England by report date will change to the new definition of an episode of infection
  • historical numbers by report date will not be revised, so there will be a step increase in the cumulative numbers of cases on that date
  • specimen date metrics will be revised back to the beginning of the pandemic.
  • the same metric names will still be used
  • new metrics will show first episodes of infection (equivalent to the current case definition) and episodes of reinfection, shown by specimen date only.
UKHSA is working with the devolved administrations to align definitions across the UK.

Figures reported on a Monday by Wales are for a 48h period. This is reflected in the UK total.

Hospital data for ST&S is updated weekly on a Thursday.

* Data not updated from previous day.

+/- compared to one week ago.

Percentages in [] = total percentage of people aged 12+ who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.

did you read it or just want to try and find something negative to post?

Francois Balloux, professor of computational biology at University College, London, told The Telegraph that there is no evidence the BA.2 variant is vastly different to the original Omicron strain, in how it could evade immunity or its virulence.

GB news didn't add his full quote either with bits like the below not added:-
He added that people infected with one of the lineages would have “robust immunity” against the other one.

I also seemed to remember you telling people to not jump to conclusions when it was good news emerging but the first chance of something negative your all over it like a rash, I wonder why...

We will have many many different variants , just like we have the whole time, most of them amount to nothing more than tiny changes, which doesn't make any difference in real terms, we will be informed if that changes by the correct medical bodies if that changes, like we were over the last 2 years, The pandemic is coming to an end and we are moving to the next stage the endemic, which is what we were told to expect, its why we locked down and took vaccines, since mid December the data has shown one thing world wide, Omicron displacing delta is a good thing and it is saving lives.
Also :-

Meaghan Kall, an epidemiologist at the UKHSA, said BA.2 was increasing in the UK but added: “Variants will continue to emerge, but not all variants will be a problem.
