Up until the 12 June 2020 the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey pilot: England was publishing the percentages of those ever testing positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the study, by healthcare and social care workers and other individuals. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/12june2020
Since the 12 June there has been no further publications on this comparison.
Could you provide me with the up to date data on this comparison up to the latest release on the 14 August. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/englandandwales14august2020

Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold an update of the exact analysis you have requested, namely an update of the linked graph to include figures up until 14 August 2020. In order to fulfil this request, we would need use a high level of statistical skill and judgement in order to create bespoke analysis for you. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests.
However, we now publish more in-depth analysis in our monthly articles, which can be found via the following link: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey Articles. In the last two articles, we have included analysis on patient facing roles in health or social care.
In the latest article you will see we have started using a new modelling approach to present this data. Please see Figure 2 in section 3 of the following publication, which shows the odds ratios of working age individuals testing positive for COVID-19 by patient-facing health care roles, England, 26 April to 26 July 2020: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey: characteristics of people testing positive for COVID-19 in England, August 2020.
We will continue to include this analysis in our subsequent articles.
