In the week to 30 October, ONS says new daily infections in England stabilised at around 50,000. That means around one person in every 90 in England has Covid. In Wales and Scotland the figure is slightly lower. There, one in 110 people are testing positive for the virus. In Northern Ireland it is one in 75 - and it is too soon to say if rates are levelling off there, say experts.
The ONS data looks at Covid-19 infections in the community, and does not include cases in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings.
It shows:

Covid-19: Boris Johnson, six Tory MPs and two political aides are self-isolating after a breakfast meeting inside Downing Street last Thursday.
One of the MPs, Lee Anderson, later tested positive for Covid-19, and on Sunday the prime minister was told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace.
In a video from No 10, Mr Johnson urged others to “follow the rules” if contacted by the system.
The PM’s official spokesman insisted that Downing Street is “Covid-secure”.
He said “social distancing did happen” but factors such as the length of the meeting were considered by Test and Trace.
Mr Johnson, who was admitted to intensive care with coronavirus seven months ago, spent about 35 minutes with Mr Anderson - who lost his sense of taste the day after the meeting.
The five other MPs self-isolating following the meeting with “Red Wall” Tories include:
[LIST]
[]Heywood & Middleton MP Chris Clarkson
[]South Ribble MP Katherine Fletcher
[]Warrington South MP Andy Carter
[]Great Grimsby MP Lia Nici
[*]Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith
[/LIST]
Mr Johnson’s spokesman declined to name the aides but suggested they were not Lee Cain or Dominic Cummings, who left Downing Street last week.
Due to technical difficulties we are unable to update the dashboard before 6pm.
