A new process for collecting numbers of recovered patients is in development: the figure shown is for 22/03/2020.
Recovered patients data
The figure shown is the number of people discharged from NHS clinical services in England following a positive test result for COVID-19. Data have been provided by NHS services. A new process for collecting numbers of recovered patients is in development.
But that doesn't answer the question:
why aren't there more recovered cases?
are all the cases still in hospital?
have they been discharged?
I guess it might have something to do with how they're coded and where they're being discharged to?
Edit.
This is from the PHE dashboard data definitions.
