Here is Friday’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 August 4, 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 5-7) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Pendle and Blackburn with Darwen have both recorded rates of 78.2 cases per 100,000 people.

In Pendle, the rate has jumped from 40.2 in the seven days to July 28 to 78.2 in the seven days to August 4. A total of 72 new cases have been recorded.

In Blackburn with Darwen, the rate has fallen from 86.8 to 78.2, with 117 new cases.

Oldham is third, where the rate has risen from 59.5 to 66.6, with 158 new cases.

The rate in Leicester continues to fall, down from 60.1 to 53.9, with 191 new cases.

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

– Swindon (up from 33.8 to 50.0, with 111 new cases)

– Preston (up from 21.7 to 42.6, with 61 new cases)

– Tameside (up from 19.0 to 33.1, with 75 new cases)

– Bury (up from 16.2 to 27.2, with 52 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on August 7 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.
