Covid-19 case rates rising in more than 90% of local areas in England
Covid-19 case rates have risen in more than 90% of local areas in England.
The figures, for the seven days to December 31, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).
The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.
Data for the most recent four days (January 1-4) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
Of the 315 local areas in England, 292 (93%) have seen a rise in case rates, 22 (7%) have seen a fall, and one is unchanged.
Here is Monday’s update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.
Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,143 new cases recorded in the seven days to December 31 – the equivalent of 1,476.2 cases per 100,000 people.
This is up from 1,106.1 in the seven days to December 24.
Thurrock in Essex has the second highest rate, up slightly from 1,371.5 to 1,389.2, with 2,422 new cases.
Redbridge in London is in third place, rising from 1,177.5 to 1,381.9 with 4,218 new cases.
The areas recording the biggest week-on-week jumps are Carlisle (up from 361.6 to 847.5 with 921 new cases); Rushmoor in Hampshire (up from 677.6 to 1,125.8 with 1,065 new cases); and the Isle of Wight (up from 229.9 to 677.1, with 960 new cases).
The list has been calculated based on Public Health England data published on January 4 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.
Here is the list in full.
