Here is Thursday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority in England.

The figures, for the seven days to July 13, 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 population.

In Leicester, the rate has dropped from 126.7 in the seven days to July 6 to 99.7 in the seven days to July 13.

It was 141.0 in the seven days to June 29.

Second on the list is Pendle, where the rate has gone up from 28.4 to 65.6, and where 60 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 13.

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

– Blackburn with Darwen (up from 36.3 to 48.3, with 72 new cases in the seven days to July 13)

– Herefordshire (up from 3.1 to 43.2, with 83 new cases recorded in the seven days to July 13, linked to an outbreak on a farm near Worcester)

– Luton (up from 14.9 to 27.6, where 59 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 13)

The list is based on Public Health England figures updated on July 16 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Data for the most recent three days (July 14 to 16) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Here is the list in full, showing the rate of new cases in the seven days to July 13, followed by the equivalent figure for the previous seven days to July 6.
