The United Kingdom Renal Registry collects data on the number of patients in a dialysis facility who have COVID-19. This data has been collected in two time periods. From 1 April to 31 August 2020, 2,339 of in-centre haemodialysis patients had a diagnosis of COVID-19 in England. From 1 September 2020 to 3 March 2021, the figure was 3,566.
