The number of people testing positive for coronavirus in England is almost three times as many as at the end of August, official data shows.
The new numbers from the NHS test and trace system show 19,278 new people tested positive between 10-16 September.
Cases are now double the number recorded when the system was launched at the end of May.
But the scheme is also showing signs of struggling, with turnaround times for in-person swab testing taking longer to turn around results.
Only 28.2% of in person test results were received within 24 hours compared to 33.3% in the previous week even though the number of tests carried out was similar.
Although, the number of people transferred to the contact tracing system - 21,268 - increased by 37% compared to the previous week, a continuation of the sharp upward trend seen from the beginning of August.
The proportion of people reached through tracing has decreased slightly, 77.7% compared with 83.8% in previous week.
The figures show 77,556 people were identified as coming into close contact with someone who had tested positive, an increase of 16%.
Out of these 74.7% were reached.
