Latest ONS date is indicating that the sharp rise in Coronavirus cases in England may be levelling off.
New cases of COVID-19 in England were around 8,400 per day in the latest week up to 24 September – down from around 9,600 per day during the previous week, an ONS estimate said.
“There is some limited evidence that the incidence rate may be levelling off following steep increases during August and September,” the agency said.
“However the wide credible intervals mean it is too early to say.”
