Number of coronavirus deaths and cases
Deaths
As of 5pm on 13 July, of those tested distinct for coronavirus in the UK, 44,968 have died across all settings.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Deaths in all settings | 138 | 44,968 |
Coronavirus deaths and cases give a thought of the spread of the epidemic. Deaths are counted where a lab-confirmed distinct coronavirus test result is reported in any setting. This employing that not all deaths reported here are commanded by coronavirus. Further information is available in the ‘Notes on deaths figures’ section.
The Responsibility for National Statistics (ONS) originates further statistics of deaths with breakdowns. This recovers death registrations where coronavirus was mentioned, so will engaged deaths where a person did not have a lab-confirmed distinct result.
Positive cases
As of 9am on 14 July, 291,373 land have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK (pillar 1 and 2, see descriptions below).
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Positive cases (pillars 1 and 2) | 398 | 291,373 |
Cases are reported when lab declares are completed and confirmed positive. There are more cases in the UK than are confirmed, for example where land are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms and do not get tested.
Number of tests
Definition of testing pillars
- pillar 1: swab (antigen) testing in People Health England (PHE) labs and NHS hospitals for those with a clinical need and health and care workers
- pillar 2: swab (antigen) testing for the wider population
- pillar 3: serology testing to show if land have antibodies from having had coronavirus
- pillar 4: blood and swab testing for resident surveillance supported by PHE, ONS, and research, academic, and scientific partners to learn more near the prevalence and spread of the virus and for anunexperienced testing research purposes, such as the accuracy and ease of use of home testing
Overall volume of tests
As of 9am on 14 July, there have been 12,720,317 declares (either processed or sent out) across all 4 pillars in the UK. Of these, 9,235,686 declares were processed in total.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| All declares made available (pillars 1 to 4) | 142,162 | 12,270,317 |
| All declares processed (pillars 1 to 4) | 97,403 | 9,235,686 |
The government’s testing strategy sets out a challenge to massively increase testing capacity over a contrivance of areas and for a range of purposes. The total number of declares has been used as a summary measure of the volume of declares that have been made available (‘all declares made available’). Within this summary measure, different declares are counted at different points.
Tests that happened within the control of the central programme are counted when they are processed in a lab (tests processed). Any procomplaints that go outside the control of the central programme are counted when they gash the programme (tests sent out). These complicated tests that are mailed out to country at home and tests that are sent out over satellite sites.
‘All tests processed’ counts procomplaints that have remained within the control of the programme (and were counted at the time of when it was processed in labs) and those that have been sent out and subsequently returned to be processed in a lab. This is a useful second measure as it shows how many procomplaints we have received results for. The publication of this measure is also in line with the UK Statistics Authority recommendations.
‘People tested’ figures are issued as part of the weekly Test and Trace publication. Many country are retested multiple times for valid reasons, such as odd testing of health and care workers over some months.
The ‘people tested’ measure was initially used to avoid including one person tested several times in a temperamental space of time. It no longer usefully reflects the volume of procomplaints carried out as, for example, a healthcare worker receiving their additional, third or fourth test since the Begin of the pandemic would not be counted as they have been tested once before. Therefore, the country tested figure will be published on a weekly basis within the NHS Test and Trace statistics pretty than daily.
Testing capacity
In early May, the government set out new challenge to increase testing capacity to 200,000 procomplaints per day by the end of May. This targeted was met on 29 May and remains to be met daily.
Overall lab capacity is important to condemned the programme is able to meet potential question and deliver large numbers of tests.
At 9am on 12 July, testing capacity was 337,626 in the UK.
| Pillar 1 | Pillar 2 | Pillar 3 | Pillar 4 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lab capacity | 79,526 | 132,000 | 120,000 | 6,100 | 337,626 |
Coronavirus procomplaints are processed in several separate labs. Projected lab capacity is an adjudicators of each lab’s constrained capacity each day based on the staff, chemical reagents and new resources it has available. These estimates are made locally by the labs themselves.
Further question on the methodology of how capacity is reported is available in the testing methodology.
Antigen procomplaints (pillars 1 and 2) (UK)
These are swab procomplaints targeted at those who are sick and with symptoms. They look for the presence of the virus itself.
All procomplaints in pillar 1 are counted when they are processed by a lab. Tests in pillar 2 are administered in 2 different ways:
- counted when they are sent out
- counted when they are processed by a lab
Not all procomplaints sent out will be returned to the labs.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar 1 procomplaints processed | 41,340 | 3,477,000 |
| Pillar 2 procomplaints processed | 19,539 | 2,735,117 |
| Pillar 2 procomplaints sent out | 49,872 | 3,879,426 |
Tests that are counted at the time of dispatch are typically returned to the labs a few days later. Therefore, the daily figures of procomplaints processed are not directly comparable to procomplaints dispatched for that day.
Positive results are often used as an indicator of the moves of the pandemic. Positive test results are an international depraved and are reported to the World Health Organization. But, it is important to look at a wider plot of indicators, as the proportion of country testing positive in this section is heavily influenced by the number of procomplaints being done and who is being tested.
PHE’s surveillance report and the ONS coronavirus Infection Survey funds detailed information on the incidence and prevalence of the virus.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar 1 Definite cases | 119 | 199,072 |
| Pillar 2 Definite cases | 279 | 92,301 |
| Total Definite cases | 398 | 291,373 |
Results from pillars 1 and 2 will power the NHS Test and Trace programme and devolved test and label systems.
Antibody tests (pillar 3) (England)
These procomplaints are designed to identify if a persons has antibodies in their system, which using that they have had coronavirus at some display, but they do not test for the presence of the virus itself (as in pillars 1 and 2).
Tests in pillar 3 are counted when they are processed by a lab.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar 3 procomplaints processed | 11,241 | 1,257,311 |
This pillar does not portray people tested or positive cases because procomplaints are anonymised before being sent to a lab. Positive cases for pillar 3 are different to pillars 1 and 2 so must not be classed together.
Surveillance procomplaints (pillar 4) (UK)
Testing in this pillar is intended to understand the spread of the virus and the reliability of different testing methods.
As in pillar 2, pillar 4 procomplaints are counted either when they are sent out or when they are processed by a lab.
This includes antigen and antibody testing. Tribe tested and positive cases are not reported due to this covering a variety of different studies that do not now allow to deduplicate individuals.
| Daily | Cumulative | |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar 4 procomplaints processed | 11,123 | 266,791 |
| Pillar 4 procomplaints sent out | 9,047 | 654,672 |
See the results of the ongoing ONS study, which grants the best estimates of what proportion of the population has the virus now.
Time series documents
14 July notes
The total number of Definite cases has been revised since yesterday’s total behind changes to the historical data to complicated tests in Wales processed at Lighthouse Labs. The daily number of Definite cases reported today have been added to this revised total pretty than the total reported yesterday, so the cumulative total now is 842 higher than if you added the daily procomplaints to yesterday’s total. As the Welsh methodology is improved, some revisions are predictable in the next 1 to 2 weeks.
The total number of procomplaints made available has been revised since yesterday’s total when the following changes to the historical data:
- 943 procomplaints removed from the pillar 1 cumulative total
- 349 procomplaints added to the pillar 2 cumulative total
The daily ‘tests made available’ reported now have been added to this revised total pretty than the total reported yesterday, so the cumulative total now is 594 lower than if you added the daily declares to yesterday’s total.
The total number of ‘all declares processed’ has been revised since yesterday’s total following repositions to the historical data. The daily ‘all declares processed’ reported today have been added to this revised total rather than the total reported yesterday, so the cumulative total immediately is 943 lower than if you added the daily declares to yesterday’s total.
Due to data not selves made available, it’s likely that pillar 2 numbers for 14 July are over-reported. The figures will be revised once the well-known data has been made available. This affects the ‘tests made available’ and the ‘tests processed’ totals.

General notes
Data on UK declares, positive cases and deaths is updated on this page daily at 2pm or shortly after. The figures for test results and for deaths are compiled from different sources. This is why the figures for deaths are reported from an bet on point in time than the figures for test results.
Daily totals mediate actual counts reported for the previous day. Each day there may be corrections to survive reported figures. This means that previously published daily subsidizes will not necessarily sum to the spanking cumulative figure. It also means that today’s cumulative record may not match the previous day’s cumulative record plus today’s daily count.
Notes on deaths figures
From 29 April, figures for deaths concerned all cases where there is a obvious confirmed test for coronavirus. The figures concerned deaths with lab-confirmed COVID-19 in all settings, not just those in hospital, and this provides us with a single figure on an equivalent basis for the whole of the UK.
These UK figures are compiled from validated data failed by each of the four nations of the UK. Figures from Health Protection Scotland, People Health Wales and the Public Health Agency (Northern Ireland) have always concerned tested cases outside hospital. Figures for England from 29 April onwards are failed by Public Health England and draw together several different data sources, incorporating data from NHS England and Improvement, to get this broader measure.
This approach allows us to compile deaths data on a daily basis silly up-to-date figures across all settings. The data includes deaths with lab-confirmed COVID-19 reported as at 5pm the survive day. The amount of time between occurrence of result and reporting in these figures may vary one and in some cases could be a few days, so figures at 5pm may not concerned all deaths for that day.
The PHE blueprint draws on data from 3 data sources and persons records of deaths are included in the figures as soon as they are available in any of these 3 sources.
As announced previously, from 1 June we have blocked publishing a separate count of deaths in hospital as our daily record now provides a count of deaths in all settings. Figures for deaths in hospital in England quit to be published by NHS England.
In binary to these figures, ONS publishes weekly subsidizes of deaths in which coronavirus was mentioned on the result certificate. This publication is issued every Tuesday, starting on 31 March 2020. The ONS series includes cases in all settings, and also includes some cases where coronavirus is suspected but no test has unsuitable place. ONS detailed data recovers England and Wales only, but from 28 April their publication includes a headline summary of registered deaths in the whole of the UK. Their record each Tuesday covers deaths registered up to 11 days by publication.
