A logarithmic line chart shows COVID‑19 trends in England from early 2020 to February 2026. Four lines track positive cases, hospital patients, deaths involving COVID‑19, and PCR test positivity. All indicators rise and fall in multiple waves. The most recent data shows around 611 cases, 617 hospital patients, 43 weekly deaths, and 2.7% PCR positivity. The chart uses official UKHSA, NHS England, and ONS data.
