+# UKHSA Dashboard — England COVID-19 daily metrics
+
+Sibling source to `ukhsa-respiratory` (weekly multi-pathogen). Split out because the
+daily-cadence + count-based units of these metrics don't pivot cleanly into the weekly
+per-100k rates the parent dataset uses for flu/RSV.
+
+**Source:** <https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/>
+
+## Coverage
+
+- **Time:** 2020-01-30 → 2026-04-22
+- **Cadence:** `daily` (observed median spacing: 1 days)
+- **Geography levels:** `subnational-state` — 1 unique location IDs
+- **Countries:** GB
+- **Pathogens:** `sars-cov-2`
+- **Surveillance category:** `respiratory`
+- **Rows:** 2,275
+
+## Columns
+
+| Column | Unit | value_type | Aggregation | Description |
+|--------|------|------------|-------------|-------------|
+| `cases` | cases/day | `incident` | `sum` | Confirmed COVID-19 cases reported on this date. |
+| `admissions` | admissions/day | `incident` | `sum` | Hospital admissions with COVID-19, daily count. |
+| `occupied_beds` | beds | `stock` | `mean` | Hospital beds occupied by patients with COVID-19 (point-in-time). |
+| `deaths_ons` | deaths/day | `incident` | `sum` | ONS-registered deaths with COVID-19 mentioned, daily. |
+| `pcr_tests` | tests/day | `incident` | `sum` | PCR tests resulted, daily. |
+
+### Additional data columns
+
+- **`location_name`** — Always 'England'. NHS regions / devolved nations would be separate sources.
+
+## Interpretation caveats
+
+Things that may differ from how other sources define a similar measure. If you're combining this dataset with another, read these first.
+
+- **`deaths_ons`** — ONS-registered deaths lag by ~10 days vs. event date and use 'mentioned on the
+certificate' criteria, not 'underlying cause'. Different denominator from PHE/UKHSA's
+own death counts (which used '28 days from positive test').
+
+- **`cases`** — Free symptomatic-testing access ended in England 2022-04-01. Post-2022 case counts
+reflect remaining clinical / hospital testing only and are not comparable to the
+free-testing era.
+
+
+## Access
