Here is Wednesday’s update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to January 30, 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 31-February 3) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, five (2%) have seen a rise in case rates and 310 (98%) have seen a fall.

Knowsley in Merseyside continues to have the highest rate in England, with 783 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 30 – the equivalent of 519.0 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down from 822.6 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to January 23.

Corby in Northamptonshire has the second highest rate, down from 588.5 to 486.0, with 351 new cases.

Sandwell in the West Midlands is in third place, down from 784.9 to 485.0, with 1,593 new cases.

The five areas to record a week-on-week rise in rates are:

1. East Lindsey (up from 98.1 to 130.5)
2. Torbay (160.0 to 182.7)
3. Rutland (180.3 to 200.4)
4. Hartlepool (313.9 to 329.9)
5. North Kesteven (181.3 to 186.5)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on February 3 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full. From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 30; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 30; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 23; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 23.
