Uptick

Uptick was especially popularized during the Covid era and essentially means an increase in number of a particular statistic or measure. It is often accompanied or by a graph or visual representation of the reported increase. The media, in particular, seem to be fond of using this term.

During the second wave of the pandemic there was an uptick in the number Covid cases being reported.
