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

The figures, for the seven days to February 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 four days (February 2-5) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 15 (5%) have seen a rise in case rates and 300 (95%) have seen a fall.

Corby in Northamptonshire has the highest rate in England, with 370 new cases recorded in the seven days to February 1 – the equivalent of 512.3 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 473.6 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to January 25.

Sandwell in the West Midlands has the second highest rate, down from 655.2 to 483.8, with 1,589 new cases.

Walsall, also in the West Midlands, is in third place – down from 535.9 to 471.5, with 1,346 new cases.

Of the 15 areas to record a week-on-week rise, the top five are:

Rutland (up from 177.8 to 232.9)
Boston (188.1 to 236.6)
East Lindsey (103.7 to 148.2)
Corby (473.6 to 512.3)
Torbay (151.2 to 174.7)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on February 5 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 February 1; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to February 1; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 25; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 25.
