Tracking the Covid pandemic in the Anglia region - the infection rate in your area

The number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 of the population in the Anglia region has fallen below 200 for the first time in two months.

The regional infection rate was 194 confirmed cases for every 100,000 people in the week ending 6 February, which is now in line with the England figure after being higher in this area for several weeks.

The highest number of cases was recorded at the beginning of January when more than 61,000 tested positive in the Anglia region in a single week - the equivalent of 843 cases per 100,000. By contrast, there were 14,000 confirmed cases in the most recent full week to 6 February.

The latest rate does varies widely between different parts of the Eastern Counties with the highest rate of 486 per 100,000 in Rutland down to 74 cases per 100,000 in the Babergh area of south Suffolk. The high rate in Rutland is being put down to an outbreak at HM Prison Stocken near Oakham.
