Covid-19 in Cambridgeshire: figures to 29 June 2020

A few headline numbers taken from figures produced by Cambridgeshire County Council’s Public Health intelligence team.

  • Just one new ‘Pillar 1’ positive COVID-19 test in Cambridgeshire last week (in Fenland) – though as we know this doesn’t include a lot of community-based ‘Pillar 2’ testing. Rates are significantly lower than the national rate.
  • 51.9 per cent of Cambridgeshire care homes have reported a COVID-19 outbreak – higher than the average for the East of England. The proportion is much lower in East Cambridgeshire, at 33.3 per cent.
  • Trends in COVID-19 deaths since the peak are declining across all areas in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
  • The number of ‘all cause’ deaths (12) in East Cambridgeshire in Week 25 (week ending 19 June) is similar to the 2014-18 average. A quarter of these were in care homes. In this and the previous week there were no COVID-related deaths in East Cambridgeshire.
  • In total there have been 50 COVID-related deaths in East Cambridgeshire between 27 March and 19 June.
