Latest maps show how Covid cases have fallen across the UK since Christmas - amid hopes that the Omicron wave has now peaked.
In the past seven days, more than 640,000 infections have been confirmed by the Department of Health, but this is a 15% drop compared to the previous week.
Maps published at the start of the year show a sea of black as the highly infectious variant tore through the country.
But cases have dropped significantly in all regions - although infections remain high in parts of Northern England and the Midlands.
It comes as the Government announced Plan B measures are being lifted and Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the country is moving into the "next chapter" in the battle with the virus.
The North West, Yorkshire and The Humber and the West Midlands are currently experiencing the highest infection rates.
London, which was the epicentre of the Omicron outbreak in the build-up to Christmas, has seen cases drop dramatically, and now only the South West has a lower infection rate.
Cases in each region currently stand at:
- Yorkshire and The Humber - 1,074.7 cases per 100,000 people
- West Midlands - 1,094.8 cases per 100,000 people
- South West - 849.2 cases per 100,000 people
- South East - 959.7 cases per 100,000 people
- North West - 921.7 cases per 100,000 people
- North East - 1,339 cases per 100,000 people
- London - 847.1 cases per 100,000 people
- East of England - 964.3 cases per 100,000 people
- East Midlands - 938.7 cases per 100,000 people
On January 4, the Department of Health announced 218,724 infections in 24 hours, but in less than four weeks that has dropped dramatically.
Yesterday afternoon the Government said there had been 74,799 new cases on Saturday.
Last week the Government said it was moving into the "next chapter" in the battle against Covid.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said he is "optimistic" the legal requirement for people in England to self-isolate with Covid can be lifted in the coming weeks.
Mr Javid said the Government was approaching a "decision point" and that it would be "guided by the data" in coming to a judgment.
"The current legislation is expiring in March unless Parliament decides to renew it. As a Government we have to make a decision on that," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"We will make it in the next few weeks but it will be guided by the data at the time. From what we are seeing at the moment, from the case numbers, hospitalisations, the direction we are travelling at the moment, I am optimistic but I don't want to say exactly what will happen in March.
"But I do want to see a time as soon as we can to remove all remaining rules and restrictions around Covid because we do have to learn to live with this virus in the same way we have learned to live, for example, with the flu."
A World Health Organisation chief earlier warned that Europe is "only passing the halfway mark" of the pandemic - and said Covid should not be likened to flu.
The WHO says governments "should not suggest to people that the data has suddenly changed or the virus has suddenly got incredibly weak".
Dr David Nabarro, the WHO's special envoy for Covid-19, said that the "end was in sight" but said that Europe was only "passing the halfway mark in a marathon".
Asked about remarks that Covid-19 should be treated like the flu, Dr Nabarro told Sky News: "I keep wondering what the people who make these amazing predictions know that I and my colleagues in the World Health Organisation don't know.
"You see, what people are seeing from around the world and reporting to the WHO is this is still a very, very dangerous virus, especially for people who have not been vaccinated and who've not been exposed to it before."
