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 September 5, 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 (September 6-8) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

In Bolton, 369 new cases were recorded in the seven days to September 5 – the equivalent of 128.3 per 100,000 people. This is the highest rate in England and it is up sharply from 61.9 in the seven days to August 29.

The rate in Bradford has also increased sharply, from 49.1 to 74.7 with 403 new cases.

Birmingham is in third place, where the rate has risen from 30.5 to 69.1, with 789 new cases.

Other areas recording notable week-on-week jumps include:

– Salford (up from 38.2 to 63.4, with 164 new cases)

– Manchester (up from 41.4 to 62.8, with 347 new cases)

– Sunderland (up from 8.6 to 57.3, with 159 new cases)

– Leeds (up from 32.5 to 56.1, with 445 new cases)

– Liverpool (up from 15.1 to 46.2, with 230 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 8 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
