The number of people infected with coronavirus in homes in England has fallen to 5,600 a day, from 8,000 last week.
The estimate is based on swab tests of 19,000 people in 9,000 households by the Office for National Statistics.
Some scientists have said reaching a low level of cases was key to easing the lockdown further.
Test and trace programmes were introduced in England and Scotland last week to track contacts of new cases.
The ONS study of adults and children in private households suggests that there are 39,000 new infections a week in England.
It estimates that one in 1,000 people have coronavirus in the community, not counting those staying in hospitals or care homes.
This is down from last week's estimate of one in 400.
The estimates for England are based on a small number of positive swab tests - 21 people in 15 households - so there is some margin for error in the figures.
But because everyone in the households is tested, whether they have symptoms or not, the results are thought to be a more accurate picture of how many people are current infected by the virus.
