COVID-19 positivity update affected by technical issue

Last updated on Thursday, 28 November 2024 at 03:56pm

Entry category: Data issue
Entry description:

On 11 November 2024, a data processing error led to a pipeline failure and prevented the COVID-19 positivity dataset from being produced.

Following this failure, work has been undertaken to understand the root cause and reinstate the pipeline. We have also completed an investigation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data published. Additional resilience has been added to the data processing.

Publication of COVID-19 positivity is expected to resume on Thursday 5 December 2024.

Positivity from a different source is published in the National Flu and COVID-19 Surveillance Report (Figure 6a).
