There is a delay (lag) between a person becoming infected with COVID-19 and being admitted to hospital or dying, and this is reflected in the lags in trends. ![]() Hospitalisation data are more recent than the latest available infections and deaths data, therefore trends for hospitalisations are also presented for the previous week to allow comparison across the different measures. The hospital admission rate and number of deaths involving COVID-19 are lower now than earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, despite similar infection levels. However, the number of death registrations in the latest week was affected by the bank holiday on 19 September 2022, and caution is needed when comparing across weeks.
