Adding the regional increases for the week onto the data provided last week. For context the actual numbers in hospital as of today are included. Still growth across all regions but the numbers are relatively low still. Midlands, South East and the North East have the biggest % increases week on week but the SE number is small meaning it easier to have big % increases.

A quick regional update on freedom day showing that we are still experiencing growth across all regions ranging from 23% to 73% (and again %s can look worse than they are; that 23% is 146 extra in hospital and the 73% is 77). The message is that there is still growth in every region and it isn't slowing down to any significant degree unfortunately. We've also had growth now in every region for 5 weeks and prior to that it was best described as growth in most areas. All of these figures are as of Friday 16th.
