Here is Thursday’s update on Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to February 14, 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 15-18) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 13 (4%) have seen a rise in case rates, 301 (96%) having recorded a fall. One is unchanged.

Corby in Northamptonshire has the highest rate in England, with 229 new cases recorded in the seven days to February 14 – the equivalent of 317.1 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down from 429.3 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to February 7.

Middlesbrough has the second highest rate, down from 382.3 to 289.4, with 408 new cases.

Sandwell in the West Midlands is in third place, down from 383.3 to 271.0, with 890 new cases.

Of the 13 areas to record a week-on-week rise, the top five are:
Copeland (up from 180.4 to 234.7)
Exeter (37.3 to 68.5)
Boston (171.0 to 198.1)
North West Leicestershire (190.1 to 215.2)
South Lakeland (73.3 to 92.3)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on February 18 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 14; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to February 14; rate of new cases in the seven days to February 7; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to February 7.
