91.2% (93.2%) in residential dwellings
3.3% (2.2%) in care/nursing homes

So not only is there only a modest increase in nursing and care home based reported cases but the vast majority of reported cases remain in residential settings at outset.

Pg 22 Number of acute respiratory infection (ARI) incidents by institution England does show the majority of ARI outbreak reports are from care homes but the ratio has not significantly changed since Week 27 whilst the incident rate has risen nearly 10 fold which is likely down to the move to more (weekly) testing of staff as the report relates to the institution not the status of the reported case(s).
