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

The figures, for the seven days to February 15, 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 16-19) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 14 (4%) have seen a rise in case rates, 299 (95%) have seen a fall and two are unchanged.

Corby in Northamptonshire has the highest rate in England, with 235 new cases recorded in the seven days to February 15 – the equivalent of 325.4 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down from 404.3 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to February 8.

Middlesbrough has the second highest rate, down from 358.9 to 295.8, with 417 new cases.

Ashfield in Nottinghamshire is in third place, down from 298.6 to 286.9, with 367 new cases.

Of the 14 areas to record a week-on-week rise, the top five are:
Boston (up from 155.3 to 205.2)
North West Leicestershire (187.2 to 235.5)
Exeter (37.3 to 73.8)
South Lakeland (68.5 to 99.0)
Tameside (180.1 to 204.0)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on February 19 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 15; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to February 15; rate of new cases in the seven days to February 8; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to February 8.
