Luton and parts of the north west of England continue to see significant rises to their coronavirus rates, new figures from the NHS have revealed.

The Covid-19 cases per 100,000 for every local authority in England has been published with the release of the rolling seven-day rate of new infections.

Many of the areas which have experienced increased infection rates are ones which have been placed under localised lockdown by the government.

The figures, for the seven days to August 10 are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

Notable jumps have occurred in north west areas including Oldham, Rochdale, Leicester, Kirklees, Middlesborough and Luton.

Oldham has seen the biggest increase with a 53% increase in cases and a rate per 100,000 jumping from 66.6 last week to 107.4.

Middlesborough has jumped to a rate of 26.3 compared to 10.0 last week and Luton has spiked to a rate of 25.7 from 18.7 in the previous seven days.
