Here is Tuesday’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 29, 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 30-September 1) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
In Pendle, 66 new cases were recorded in the seven days to August 29 – the equivalent of 71.7 per 100,000 people. This is the highest rate in England, and it is up slightly from 68.4 in the seven days to August 22.
The rate in Bolton has jumped from 18.4 to 59.1, with 170 new cases.
Corby is third as the rate has increased from 22.2 to 56.8 with 41 new cases.
Other areas recording notable week-on-week jumps include:
– Rossendale (up from 12.6 to 49.0, with 35 new cases)
– South Tyneside (up from 11.9 to 41.1, with 62 new cases)
– Trafford (up from 19.4 to 35.4, with 84 new cases)
– Leeds (up from 18.9 to 31.4, with 249 new cases)
The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 1 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.
