The figures come as new rules are set to be implemented from Monday in England, meaning that gatherings of more than six people will be illegal.
The rules will apply across England to all ages and in any setting either indoors and outdoors, at home or a pub.
A single household or support bubble that is larger than six will still be able to gather.
However, covid-secure venues like places of worship, gyms, restaurants and hospitality settings can still hold more than six in total.
It's also worth noting that education and work settings are not affected by the new rules. While weddings and funerals can still go ahead with a limit of 30 people if conducted in a covid-secure way.
