As part of the update process, total UK-wide cases have fallen by around 30,000 and now stand at 283,757.

Happily, rather than just subtracting 30k tonight and leaving the old data unchanged, the full time series has been revised, so we now appear to have consistent data on cases by specimen date right back to February (for the UK, England, and English subnational areas).

Wales has a consistent time series of pillars 1+2. Scotland and NI are only consistent 1+2 for the last few weeks
