The figures are a heck of a lot better now in Sunderland.
On the 3rd or March this year, the city had 21,005 cases.
This was at a time when we were getting around 500 new cases a week.
Now, Sunderland has had 21,608 cases of Coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.
So, that's an increase of around 600 in two and a half weeks - a significant fall but we could do better, couldn't we?
On the 21st March 2021, Sunderland had 21,608 people who were affected by the coronavirus.
This was at a time when we were averaging 500 new cases a week for a long time!
It has been almost 8 weeks since I last gave some figures and so you might expect a rise of a few more thousands but no:
Sunderland now has had 22,175 cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
That is an increase of just 567 in those 8 weeks.
Most of those will not be infectious and most will have recovered well.
The figure of 567 is over almost 8 weeks so you are talking of very few cases in Sunderland now.
