    I would imagine this is just timing/reporting variance.

    It's the trends that are important really though, not the accuracy of numbers. These two reports are very similar statistically (as a percentage) compared to the number of UK residents.

    Of course, there's the dashboard vs ZOE stats, in which the latter are the lowest number, unlike 6 or so months ago, they were the opposite.

    I think all reported stats are only just approximations and not the 'true' daily numbers, which have probably always been higher.
