Also in terms of changes, the two country comparison tables on the UK page have been updated now!
On the basic table there is now a 12 week trend of cases/deaths for each country, which will be updated once a week on Sunday.
Then on the detailed table there has been a more drastic design change, and the sections for cases, deaths, and vaccinations have all been adjusted to look roughly the same as one another
There is also a 'new today' and a 'change from previous 7 days' column for vaccinations now
And the search bar is a little more useful now!
In addition to typing in 'million' to show countries with over a million population only, you can now type in something like 'Europe million' to show countries with over a million population in Europe specifically.
You can also search for 'European Union', 'G7', and 'G20' to just show countries from those groups. And as before you can still just type multiple countries into the search bar to show the figures for them only.
It can be a little finicky at times, but can also be very useful!

Leaving Botswana we headed into Namibia and spent a few days driving towards Etosha National Park!
It was great to see different parts of this beautiful country, and also see some animals we’ve not seen anywhere else!
During the journey we stopped at Windhoek and Waterberg Plateau, which were both really nice spots with some great hiking trails!
One of our camps had Pumbas running around causing havoc 😅
Once we reached Etosha we did a full day safari drive, which was exhausting, although worth it as we got to see another Leopard, Cheetahs, and a whole bunch more.
Have been having a break from Twitter, but I'm back now and wanted to share some pictures from a trip I took around Norway recently! 🇳🇴
It was a cruise from Southampton, up to the North Cape and back over the course of about two weeks.
The first stop was Haugesund. The weather was perfect, and it almost felt like I was out in the Inner Hebrides!
Next up was Olden. It was just the second stop, but it was definitely the highlight of the trip! 🏔️
The whole area is stunning. I went up the Loen Skylift (one of the steepest in the world), and got to spend time watching people jumping off cliffs and gliding down the Fjords!
After three years, and 800 updates, today marks the final time I'll be updating the Scotland Coronavirus Tracker.
Thank you so much to everyone for all of the support and encouragement over that time. Being able to run this page for so long has been the honour of my life 🥹
Reported case rates are still mostly falling throughout the UK, and across the planet as a whole. Although of course, a large part of that is due to a reduction in testing.
The hospital figures are falling across the UK too!
Here are some of the hospital admission figures for England. It has been a lot of up and down over 2022/2023, but the rates right now are some of the lowest they've been throughout that period.
We're actually averaging under 100 new cases a day now, for the first time since August 2020! Although of course that is largely a result of low testing levels.
The latest wastewater figures show that the levels there are still low (the lowest in nearly two years), although it does look like there has been a slight increase during the first week of May.
