The data in the table below is correct as of Tuesday 26 May. It should be stressed that these figures reflect the total number of recorded positive cases of COVID-19 since our first confirmed cases in mid-March – not the number of live cases - and includes individuals that have recovered. The figures are also drawn from our updated data stream as of Tuesday 26 May, reflecting a more robust way of reporting COVID-19 staff cases. The overall declining trend in new cases continues. It is noteworthy that numbers reported will be affected by a number of variables, including the availability of testing locally which can result in differences between sites and regions and as self-reported (for staff) through HMPPS management lines for central collation.

The department is considering the content of its regular reporting schedule and how that could be expanded.
