Government guidance has changed and can be seen here under “Living with Covid”:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-living-with-covid-19
You should still isolate  for 5 days after a positive test, and beyond until you have had two successive negative tests. Sadly, deaths continue, so the virus has not gone away. Lateral flow tests are still free for now until 1st April.

As restrictions are lifted and vaccinations are now increasing slowly, I wonder if it is time to reduce this data soon. I feel that infection rates are still valuable to people but the vaccination rates add little now – although vaccination is still encouraged and being made available readily.

Thank you for sharing these @Malcolm Allan I'm inclined to agree that the vaccine info is of less interest than the infection rates and it has been good to see those steadily falling.

Please do continue with the infection rates for the immediate future.

Here's the usual update as at Friday 10th December. Last week’s figures in brackets.

The rate of infection in Stockport Borough has risen sharply again to 462.8 (392.6) per 100,000, which is still below the national average of 502.1 (447.2). New cases are up at 188 (165) per day. Stockport NHS hospitalisations in the week to 5th December are steady at 22 (21).

The number of people who have received a first dose of the vaccine is 231,473 (230,145) which is 86.5% (86.3%) of the entire 18+ population. 213,473 (212,227) or 83.5% (83.2%) of the 18+ population have now received two doses. 109,758 (93,034) including 94.3% (91.7 %) of the 70+ population have received a booster dose. Boosters are being offered in order of descending age. 
 
The vaccination walk in centre in Merseyway is offering free covid vaccinations from 10.00am to 3.00pm Thursday to Saturday until 18th December.
 
The area data is as follows, giving rates of infection per 100,000 over the last five weeks, latest last. To help get this in proportion, I am adding at the end the total cases in 7 days to 6th December. Some people last week weren’t sure what this means. Each area has a different population. The “rates” are per 100,000 population, so comparable as a rate of infection. The figure in brackets is the actual number of cases.
