Latest data on COVID-19 admissions and deaths in English hospitals.

The 7-Day Moving Average for hospital admissions is rising rapidly again nationally. Doubling time is around a month.

As ever, the regional picture (below) is key to understanding the national picture. 1/4 Image
Based on recent hospital admissions we estimate that R was approaching 1.2 for England as a whole in late November.

As ever, we would emphasise that this is a composite of different regions with different trends in infections. 2/4 Image
The average number of COVID-19 deaths in English hospitals still appears to be slowly falling.

We’ve seen fewer late-reported deaths than anticipated in our Saturday update, so it no longer seems like deaths have stopped falling nationally. 3/4 Image
Regionally, the rate of increase in London continues to accelerate, and is now above 50%. The East and SE continue to grow rapidly, whereas from the Midlands north we see much smaller increases. Finally, in the SW, growth is picking up too, albeit from a lower base. 4/4 Image

Our latest update on England admissions and deaths sees the 7 day MA for the former now above the previous second wave peak in mid Nov, and the current rate of growth is equivalent to a doubling time of around a month. There's considerable regional variation, covered later. 1/4 Image
Our estimate of R, based on admissions, may be levelling off at just under 1.2. As already noted though, this would imply doubling approximately every month, so is not a sustainable position at the current high level of admissions. 2/4 Image
For deaths, after a few days where the 7DMA had levelled it has now clearly started to increase again, which is to be expected given the trend in admissions. Unfortunately we can expect this to continue and it is likely to reach a new second wave peak during the Xmas week. 3/4 Image

The average number of COVID-19 deaths in English hospitals also now appears to be rising again.

We adjust the data to allow for reporting delays (based on the recent pattern) which allows us to identify the change in trend earlier than other techniques. 3/4

Based on recent hospital admissions we estimate that R went back above 1.0 for England as a whole, during the second half of November.

We again emphasise that this is a composite of different regions with different trends in infections. 2/4 Image
The average number of COVID-19 deaths in English hospitals is still falling, having peaked at around 300 deaths a day.

We expect this will continue follow admissions, which means further falls in the short term, but increased admissions may be replicated in the deaths too. 3/4 Image
