Wakefield Trinity • Re: O/T Politics and Pandemics
I know more cases are coming to light because more testing is being carried out locally, but it seems to prove we all still need to be careful.
810 more coronavirus cases diagnosed in Wakefield
Public Health England (PHE) figures show that 1,602 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 by 9am on Thursday (July 2) in Wakefield, up from 792 the same time on Wednesday.
The health body is now including Pillar 2 tests – those carried out by commercial partners – alongside Pillar 1 tests, which are analysed in NHS or PHE laboratories and which made up the first stage of the Government's mass testing programme.
The rate of infection in Wakefield now stands at 464 cases per 100,000 people, higher than the England average of 436.
