Here is Friday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to September 1, 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 three days (September 2-4) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

In Bolton, 265 new cases were recorded in the seven days to September 1 – the equivalent of 92.2 per 100,000 people. This is the highest rate in England and it is up sharply from 18.8 in the seven days to August 25.

The rate in Rossendale has also increased sharply, from 16.8 to 71.3 with 51 new cases.

Pendle is in third place, where the rate has risen from 58.6 to 69.5 with 64 new cases.

In Bradford the rate has jumped from 42.8 to 63.2, with 341 new cases.

Other areas recording notable week-on-week jumps include:

– South Tyneside (up from 19.9 to 50.3, with 76 new cases)

– Tameside (up from 27.8 to 45.0, with 102 new cases)

– Salford (up from 27.0 to 42.5 with 110 new cases)

– Wirral (up from 18.2 to 33.3, with 108 new cases)

– Leeds (up from 26.1 to 34.4, with 273 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 4 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
