UCL's daily count of confirmed COVID-19 cases among staff and students, October 2020 – May 2022, preserved with the newsletters that explain it.
UCL published these statistics on a web page that was overwritten with each update and kept no history. A cron job fetched that page hourly and extracted the numbers, so the series can be read as a whole rather than a day at a time. The page itself is now gone — its URL redirects elsewhere — so this archive, and the Internet Archive's capture, are what remain. The figures are reported cases only and undercount the true total by an unknown amount; "on campus" marks recent presence, not the site of infection.
7-day totals. Before 2021-01-05 the line is a rolling 7-day total of the daily figures rather than UCL's reported weekly total — why. For daily and cumulative charts, filters and the full discussion, see the interactive visualisation →
