U.K. Covid Cases Plunge Another 40% and Dip Below 20,000 For First Time Since Last June

by Toby Young
22 April 2022 12:27 PM

Britain’s Covid cases have reached their lowest daily total since June 2021, official data showed today. MailOnline has more.

Just 19,482 new positive tests were recorded by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) over the last 24 hours, down 40% on the 32,608 recorded last Thursday.

It is the lowest daily figure recorded since June 27th, when 14,876 official cases were recorded. But the metric has become much less reliable now that free tests have been scrapped for the majority of Brits.

Despite the fall in cases, a recording backlog saw the number of deaths recorded today jump by 85% in a week to 646. Fatalities have been fluctuating daily because of delays in reporting.

The number of people dying within 28 days of a positive test on average has been falling week-on-week for the last four days.

Experts have warned the constant stream of daily figures are now almost meaningless because they rely on people coming forward for tests, which has reduced massively since the end of free testing.

There is now clamour among many scientists for their publication to be scrapped entirely.

Separate UKHSA figures today showed Covid hospital admissions fell last week from 19.94 to 16.17 per 100,000 in England.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: The U.K. recorded fewer than 20,000 cases for the second day in a row on April 22nd, according to MailOnline.
