Swabs were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We take all positive and negative tests in the survey and apply statistical modelling techniques to estimate the number of people who have had COVID-19 in the population, in each of the four UK nations for the duration of the survey. Daily prevalence and incidence estimated Incidence estimated from prevalence We do this using both positive and negative swab results Positivity (prevalence) from "first infection" episodes a new positive test occurs 120 days or more after an individual's first positive test in the survey, and their most recent prior test result was negative or, last positive test has been followed by four consecutive negative tests Incidence methodology Duration of testing positive varies from person Incidence and duration can be used to give prevalence Reinfections We retest the same people, regardless of whether they have symptoms, we can identify both infections and re-infections, and our data includes asymptomatic cases. Cambridge University modelling 20th February 2020 to 10th February 2022 https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/now-casting/nowcasting-and-forecasting-25th-february-2022/ Estimates 40.2 million people had COVID-19 in England 30% of all infections are re-infections. The risk of re-infection was approximately 10 times higher in the period when the Omicron variants were most common, compared with when the Delta variant was most common Learn more about your ad choices.
