Confirmed UK Covid cases have dropped sharply in the past week - but the number of recorded tests fell by more than a million in seven days.
Latest data show a huge 38.3 per cent week-on-week fall in people testing positive for the virus, while hospitalisations have remained stable.
Sadly the UK's official Covid-19 death toll passed 170,000, with 1,613 people dying within 28 days of a positive test in last week.
