That's right, Sophie.

The system in England test in trace its lowest results in some areas since it was launched in May.

Just 15% off.

Test results were back in 24 hours for people who went to sites to get tested on fewer than 60% of close contacts off.

Those who had tested positive were reached by the contact tracing system.

The prime minister said.

There was room for improvement.

He understood people's frustration with the system.

Sir Patrick Violence, the government's chief scientific adviser, though, made the point that it was really quite difficult for tests and trace to be effective at this level off infections and they had to come down with restrictions for the system to work better.

In the meantime, there are about 1000 people being admitted to hospital in England.

There were some some indication today that there could be perhaps a leveling off.

Yes, Sir Patrick talked about a flattening out of some of the figures with new infections, he said.

Actually, in younger age groups, the infection rates were falling on with hospital admissions.

We can look at the chart that was shown at the briefing for a little more detail on that, and you can see the yellow line There is a month ago and how much daily admissions patients with Kobe in 19 in UK hospitals have gone up since then, though possibly a bit of a flattening out, leveling out at the most recent end of that.

But there was certainly no suggestion from officials that there had definitely bean a turn of the corner on the warnings that cases would continue to go up.

Restrictions might be needed for a little while.

The next couple of weeks of data would be very important, thank you.
