Don't forget also that "hospitalisations" also include
- those who would for example present to A&E with a broken arm and test positive for covid on arrival even though covid wasn't the reason for them going
- those who were negative for covid on arrival but tested positive whilst in hospital (having caught it from a staff member, another patient, or a visitor).
Yet another point about measuring criteria really.

It's always been measured that way, the key issue is that hospitalisations may have declined.
It's a tiny increase but I'm sure this measure will be keenly watched to see if this is a 7-day blip or not.
