It is too soon to judge whether the England-wide lockdown, which began on November 5, has had any impact on the rate of new Covid-19 cases in each part of the nation.

But the latest figures show rates continuing to increase in most local authority areas across England.

There is only one region, north-west England, in which a majority of areas are currently recording a fall, rather than a rise.

Rates are up in every area of north-east England, all but three areas of south-west England, and all but one area in London.

Here is an overview of the latest case rates in each region, including the areas with the highest and lowest numbers.

In all instances, the figures are for the week ending November 12 and have been calculated by the PA news agency using data published by Public Health England.

– Yorkshire and the Humber

The highest rates of new cases of Covid-19 in England are currently in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

Hull is top of the list, with 776.4 cases per 100,000 people – up from the previous week’s figure of 686.0.

Scarborough (595.8), Kirklees (577.3), Bradford (545.6) and North East Lincolnshire (545.2) are also among the top 10 highest rates in England.

Scarborough and North East Lincolnshire, along with Richmondshire, have seen the biggest week-on-week jumps across the region.

Overall, 13 of Yorkshire and the Humber’s 21 local areas have seen a week-on-week increase in rates, while eight have seen a drop.

The lowest rate in the region is for York, which is currently 171.9, down slightly from 192.8.

– North-east England

Rates are rising in all of the 12 local areas in North-east England.

The highest rate in the region is Hartlepool, up from 389.7 to 570.1.

This is also the biggest week-on-week rise for any area in the region.

This is the only region in England where a majority of areas are currently showing a drop in Covid-19 case rates.

The lowest Covid-19 case rate of any area in England is in Eastern England: North Norfolk, where the rate is currently 51.5, up a little from 49.6.

Almost every area in the region – 41 out of 45 – has seen a week-on-week rise, however.
