So today is Monday and marks the start of a new week. Matt Hancock has delivered his daily stats update and confirmed over 8 million tests have now been carried out on people in England to determine if they have had the virus or not.
For the first time since the peak, the number of confirmed cases is now under 1,000 (958) and 330 people are currently on ventilators, down from 395 last week. There are also fewer than 5000 people in hospitals with the coronavirus
There were 15 reported deaths yesterday - the lowest figure since 15th March, however they are aware this is a weekend figure so these could rise over the next few days. About a month ago 1 in 400 people had the virus, and now it is more like 1 in 1700.
Tomorrow the Prime Minister is going to announce the next stage of his plan so it will be interesting to see what he says.
There are still 2.2 million people shielding in England who have been delivered medicine, support and more than 3 million food boxes, but they are hoping to rules in the next few weeks so that people can come together and bubble up.
