2021. this is the percentage of tests that were positive out of all tests made on the day. because testing rates vary over time, and can vary greatly between countries, the positivity rate is a key metric for measuring the pandemic. according to the world health organization, a positive rate of less than 5% for at least two weeks is one indicator the epidemic is under control in a country. test availability also varies over time, so the very high rates seen in spring 2020 are probably an over-estimate of positivity. new daily tests new daily tests per 1000 population, smoothed, uk from april
