Chart to show England positive tests (as of 13-Apr) by breakdown of first infection events and possible reinfection events.

Longer term view. 35,926 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (13-Apr). This brings the rolling average by specimen date (allowing 4 days for lag) to 45,475, equivalent to around 04-Mar (i.e. 33 days ago), a reduction of 22796 (33%) in the last week.
Closer look at the latest 45 days, with today's added numbers highlighted in yellow. Individual nations and animated England charts further down the thread.
Separate charts for England (29335) Scotland (5513) Wales (308) and Northern Ireland (770). Note the different scales. Also on certain days the specimen-date data for Scotland/Wales/NI doesn't get updated so the yellow bars may be mising or include multiple day's numbers.
Animated chart to show how the #covid19uk positive tests by specimen date have been contributed to by reports over the last 7 days. Note this just includes England numbers as other nations don't always publish their specimen date numbers every day.
