Positive tests down
Based on last week's ONS estimate of 8,000 daily infections, some scientists advising the government warned against relaxing lockdown measures too quickly.
They said waiting until cases fell further would make the virus easier to control, and give test and trace programmes more chance of succeeding.

On the basis of this study, "the number of people in England testing positive has decreased in recent weeks", the ONS says.
"The rate of infection continues to decline and is half what it was two weeks ago," says Prof Keith Neal, emeritus professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases, at the University of Nottingham.
"This is highly compatible with the fall in diagnosed cases. The contact tracing service has more than enough staff to cope with the current level of infection.
"The main problem is people not getting tested for COVID-19 when they have symptoms," he said.
