ENGLAND HOSPITAL DATA TODAY
As expected as it always is on a Monday there was a bigger rise today than over the weekend and the North West had undeniably the worst of it. But it is up less than last Monday.
PATIENTS - UP 721 FROM 16,399 to 17,120
Last week the equivalent was 13,151 to 14,210 going UP 1059
Regionally
East up 57 to 1497, London up 63 to 3930, Midlands up 107 to 3145, NE & Yorkshire up 146 to 2758, South East up 90 to 1672 and South West up 56 to 912.
So everyone is rising by similar numbers really.
NORTH WEST rose today by 202 - to 3206 - easily the most as you can see - the legacy of now being the highest region in cases (several thousand over every other region today).
It will be driving things for a few more days until cases stabilise properly as London did.
But Midlands and Yorkshire as you see are outdoing London now too pretty much every day.
On ventilators there was a rise today of just 3 from 704 to 707.
Last Monday the rise was 8 to 777 - so it is 70 down on last Monday today.
Little change in most places:
East down 1 to 76, London up 1 to 225, Midlands level at 105, NE & Yorkshire up 1 to 91, South East down 5 to 73 and South West up 2 to 44
Given the patient intake it will be no surprise that the NORTH WEST went up the most - by 5 from 88 to 93.
