-Nearly 140,000 cases were handled in the most recent wk, 16% more than the previous week & a nine-fold increase since the start of September.
-The system has consistently been able to reach over 80% of cases, however the percentage of contacts reached stubbornly remains at 60%
-The system has consistently been able to reach over 80% of cases, however the percentage of contacts reached stubbornly remains at 60%
-So, whilst 115,000 cases & 196,000 contacts were reached & advised to isolate, over 24,000 cases and 131,000 contacts weren’t.
The system is still far from achieving the 80% of contacts needed for the effective system recommended by the government’s SAGE.

-Encouragingly, the time between taking a test and getting results is falling & % of cases contacted w/i 24hrs increased to 67% from 44% the week before.
-Mass testing may help to further improve the time to get results, but this is still just at pilot stage.
