A statement on the Government website said: "The way cases are reported has changed.
"Cases that have been identified through a positive rapid lateral flow test will be removed for people who took Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests within three days that were all negative. Cases of this type that were previously reported were removed from the cumulative total, reducing the total by 8,010.
"Newly reported numbers of cases for the UK and England were unaffected by the removal of these. Historic published date totals have not been changed.
"Newly reported cases at regional and local authority level within England are calculated as the daily change in the total number of cases.
"This means that for April 9, 2021, these show significantly lower numbers or zero, and should not be considered as the actual number of new cases reported on that date."
The Government data shows that in the last 24 hours there was three new cases of coronavirus recorded in Herefordshire.
The newly adjusted cumulative number of Covid-19 cases in Herefordshire is 6,888.
Across the UK the daily number of coronavirus cases recorded was 3,150 making a new cumulative total of 4,365,461.
