I normally summarise the @DHSCgovuk tests but am v.confused about what sort of tests constitute the 57,434 tests (the increase between yesterday & today)
13,069 RT-PCR from NHS & PHE Labs? What about the rest?
439 have died in hospital (but N/A community deaths + ? Scotland)

@DHSCgovuk say in their thread that they are now counting tests from their “five pillars” but does not distinguish between each sort. That needs clarification - and confirmation that the 3rd pillar is not included at this stage.
51,608 tested positive but until we can rule out that none of the 57434 tests from yesterday were antibody tests I can tell what the current run of +ves to negatives really are.
So do the Portland Down tests use any of the same people who have tested +ve (duplication of people)

If the deaths represent the full data from all 4 countries that, whilst horrible, would still represent a marked fall in numbers. But another report suggested that the Scottish deaths from the weekend were not included. Hope to confirm later on in the day.
