A round number today - 3,000 cases with 640 from prisons
As this story sets out, a lot of the notified cases are clustered in factories and markets. The official statistics are unreliable since testing is not exactly encouraged because people have to pay for it (so why would you?):

Only 26 in prisons today from an overall 2,331. May’s average was a tad over 2,200; June’s is roughly 100 higher. A graphic of the past 7 weeks (from 1 May) shows fluctuations but no real trend:

Could you expand on how you are calculating “trend”, Matt?
From the monthly averages you give, and watching the daily count.
Daily counts go down as well as up. While today is a recent high, there was a recent low last week. The fortnightly average (ie. the best surrogate for trend) is virtually flat. The weekly average shows a slight uptick (something like 3%), hardly “trending upwards”.
Today's total is 3,058 cases of which 459 are from prisons. That's 2,599 in the general population including travellers in quarantine. Before Matt gets all prissy about "trending upwards", the fortnightly average over the past 5 days, including these figures, has been 2340, 2340, 2313, 2331, 2338 - steady as she goes.
