The figures are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government's testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

Data for the most recent three days (September 14-16) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

And Dr Kathryn Cobain, the Director for Public Health in Worcestershire, also warned earlier this week the cases data was also likely to not currently being giving a "true picture" as residents with symptoms were not being tested, due to the recent testing issues.
