🇬🇧 COVID-19: Lack of surveillance leaves UK in dark as hospital admissions rise, experts warn.

"The UK’s current method of recording covid-19 cases “is not a sensible approach to managing the spread of infection,” virologists have warned."

UKHSA data show COVID cases and hospital admissions rising sharply. Admissions hit 2.73 per 100k in mid-September, up 60% from mid-August. Weekly cases rose 22%, from 2,012 to 2,459 by September 24 — a “worrying” surge so early in autumn.
