cvd - UK, virus timeseries [ONS], 4th June 2021

ONS sourced estimates for prople testing positive for covid-19 between July 2020 and May 2021. Note the addintions of data from Scotland & Northern Ireland in 2020.
Also the affect of the weak, second lockdown in reducing (or rather delaying) the development of the Second Wave. The growth rate appears very similar before and after the November 2020 lockdown.

By the start of May 2021, infections are starting to rise again.
