However, the number of patients being treated in our hospitals is just a fraction of that number.
Data for Ipswich for the seven days prior to July 4 showed there were 84.7 cases per 100,000 people.
The rate was the same as that on November 13 - but at the time, there were 88 people hospitalised by ESNEFT alone.

Neill Moloney, managing director of ESNEFT, said: “We are still seeing a number of new Covid-19 admissions in our hospitals, although this is substantially lower than the peak in January.
“The link between Covid-19 infection and hospitalisation/mortality has not been completely broken by the Covid-19 vaccination programme, so we’re urging our communities to not let their guard down now.
