COVID-19 in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Public Health Intelligence Team Public Health Intelligence Team 24 August 2021
The case numbers reported na onally (coronavirus.data.gov.uk) changed on 2 July 2020 which meant that all people who tested posi ve were included in the figures, irrespec ve of where and how the tests were carried out. Whilst this provides an indica on of the numbers with COVID-19, it does not include those in the community who have not been tested but may have/ have had COVID- 19.
Public Health England (PHE) released detailed COVID-19 case data provided to us however; this included pillar two test data which, un l recently, was not reliable enough to use. In addi on, PHE placed restric ons on how and when the data was shared. We have worked with PHE to change the use of the data to allow us to share more detailed informa on with the public. The details in the report below have been released to build on the na onal data and help provide a more detailed picture of the COVID-19 posi ve cases and related deaths across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to date.
