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 August 18, 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 (August 19-21) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

In Oldham, 170 new cases were recorded in the seven days to August 18 – the equivalent of 71.7 per 100,000 people. This is the highest rate in England but it is down from 112.2 in the seven days to August 11.

The rate in Pendle is 67.3, down from 108.6, with 62 new cases.

Blackburn with Darwen is third, where the rate has fallen from 88.2 to 56.1, with 84 new cases.

In Leicester the rate continues to fall, down from 70.6 to 51.4, with 182 new cases.

Areas recording notable week-on-week jumps include:

– Swindon (up from 39.2 to 45.9, with 102 new cases)

– Bury (up from 24.6 to 29.8, with 57 new cases)

– Stoke-on-Trent (up from 14.4 to 26.1, with 67 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on August 21 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
