The UK is going to stop publishing Covid-19 modelling data altogether because it is ‘no longer necessary’. Publicly available measures like the R number will be totally discarded from the end of next month.
Numbers are on the rise but public figures on the spread of Covid-19 will no longer be published
The UKHSA Epidemiology Modelling Review Group said that, following a detailed review, the next publication of its consensus statement on Covid-19 on January 6 ‘will be the last’. Dr Nick Watkins, chairman of the EMRG, said: ‘During the pandemic, the R value and growth rate served as a useful and simple indicator to inform public health action and Government decisions.‘Now that vaccines and therapeutics have allowed us to move to a phase where we are living with Covid-19, with surveillance scaled down but still closely monitored through a number of different indicators, the publication of this specific data is no longer necessary.
