Infection rates
The R-rate in London is currently just below 1 which means that infection rates are starting to fall across the whole of London.
In Croydon, new cases have also been falling though this is yet to result in a subsequent fall in those being treated in Croydon University Hospital or in covid-related deaths which is why the role we all play as individuals to reduce transmission remains critical.
Keeping you and others safe
While COVID-19 is a mild illness for many people, it can be devastating for others, particularly our older and most vulnerable residents. It is therefore crucial that everyone in Croydon acts now to protect themselves, their friends, family and wider community.
We have information and support to keep our community safe during this time.
Government and NHS data
Data on COVID-19 testing, deaths and other monitoring is collated by the government and NHS.
Coronavirus in the UK
The government's Coronavirus in the UK website shows the number of cases and the number of deaths within Croydon.
The data relating to infections on our website comes from this source, but please be aware that deaths reported by the government dashboard uses a different methodology than presented in this dashboard.
The government dashboard shows the number of people who have received a positive test result, prior to death, who have since died. This is regardless of the cause of that death. This dashboard also includes national and regional information relating to testing and healthcare.
Testing rates and monitoring
The government's weekly COVID-19 surveillance reports summarise the information from the surveillance systems which are used to monitor the pandemic in England.
They include maps of testing rates across the country and also lists the Local Authorities on the Government's Watchlist that are areas of intervention, areas for enhanced support and areas of concern.
