A sharp rise in Covid-19 hospitalisations this week, with the number of patients in Addenbrooke's up from 30 to 50. However, it's worth noting that the number in critical care (shown by the red bars) is down slightly - the increase is due to non-critical cases.
Cases in Cambridge are up about 7% over the week, with a fall in the last couple of days undoing some of the earlier increase.
Here's the age group picture - quite a complex one, with school cases falling again, but a big rise for the 30-59s. Cases are low in the student age groups, and this is reinforced by data from @Cambridge_Uni's testing programme. However, numbers are up for the over-60s.
Here's the picture for cases across the county - Cambridge is below the average for England, while other Cambridgeshire districts are higher. It does look like we're starting to see a downward trend, though. Let's hope this develops in Cambridge too.
I'll be on @CamBreakfast on Monday at 8:30am for my weekly look at the latest Cambridge Covid data. You can listen on FM, with the Radioplayer app, or at cambridge105.co.uk/radioplayer/.

I have the solution to Brexit, based on a detailed analysis of national political opinion, using datasets from Parliament's petition website. And the answer is...puppies.
I downloaded data for the 50 most popular petitions, and used linear regression of the signatures per constituency to find closely connected petitions. Then I fed the results into the @keylines network visualisation toolkit that I help build in my day job at @CambridgeIntel.
The graph shows several distinct clusters of political opinion. On one side, there are several anti-Brexit petitions, dominated by the #RevokeArticle50 petition (size reflects number of signatures).
