That works out to a 17% increase week on week.

Yes, that's right. It's also on the front page (
link) where they give change on the previous 7 day period. Here's all the main bullet points;
- Cases up 34.7%
- Deaths down 14.8%
- Hospitalisations up 17.1%
- Tests down 17.3%
The data is not pretty viewing. Hopefully, the ultimate lagging measure of deaths will not follow the trends for cases and hospitalisations. That would be expected due to the vaccination program but hard data would be preferred of course
