There have been no coronavirus deaths announced today - is this a moment for celebration?
At the beginning of the year, the UK was in a very different place. We saw the devastating peak of the second wave, fuelled by the more transmissible Kent variant.
And in some parts of the UK the "Delta" variant from India is driving hospital admissions back up again.When it comes to lives lost, in mid-January the average for people who had had a positive coronavirus test and died within 28 days of this test was 1,248. In the second wave of England's epidemic in the autumn and early winter, schoolchildren and young adults experienced a much faster rise in infections than other age groups - most likely because they had more opportunities to mingle.
And then there are emerging variants to contend with, including the Indian variant which has been causing spikes of infection in some areas.
