The R number - the average number of secondary infections produced by a single infected person - currently stands at between 0.8 and 1, with a daily infection growth rate range of -4% to -1%, the figures show.
The seven-day rolling average on positive tests shows that infections are now falling, which suggests that lockdown may be having an effect on case rates.
The latest figures come as senior doctors called on England's chief medical officer to halve the gap between the first and second doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has said the gap between doses being given to patients should be cut from 12 weeks to six.
Meanwhile, the introduction of "COVID hotels" and other curbs on international travel are to be discussed by senior ministers on Monday.
It follows Prime Minister Boris Johnson hinting that further border restrictions were needed to stop dangerous new coronavirus variants entering the country.
