9 May notes
The daily total for tests is 4 lower than the difference between today’s and yesterday’s cumulative totals. This is due to historic data revisions to Pillar 1.
The split between ‘in-person’ (tests processed) and ‘delivery’ (tests sent out) has been adjusted. 16,704 historic tests have been moved from ‘in-person’ to ‘delivery’ in the cumulative tests totals to ensure the right allocation of tests from satellite locations. This means that the daily totals for the ‘in-person’ and ‘delivery’ routes will not add up to the difference in cumulative totals.
General notes
Data on UK positive and negative tests and data on deaths is updated on this page daily at 2pm or shortly after. The figures for test results and for deaths are compiled from different sources. This is why the figures for deaths are reported from an earlier point in time than the figures for test results.
Daily totals reflect actual counts reported for the previous day. Each day there may be corrections to previous reported figures. This means that previously published daily counts will not necessarily sum to the latest cumulative figure. It also means that today’s cumulative count may not match the previous day’s cumulative count plus today’s daily count.
