Latest Covid-19 Weekly Rates for Local Authorities Areas in England
Here’s Monday’s update of the seven-day rolling rate of new Covid-19 cases for each local authority area in England.
The figures, for the seven days to December 10, are based on tests performed in laboratories (pillar one of the government’s testing program) and in the community at large (pillar two).
The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.
Data for the most recent four days (December 11-14) have been excluded because they are incomplete and do not reflect the actual number of cases.
Of the 315 local areas in England, 222 have seen an increase in case rates, 91 have experienced a drop and two areas have not changed.
Swale in Kent continues to have the highest rate in England, with 1,008 new cases registered in the seven days to December 10, the equivalent of 671.6 cases per 100,000 people.
This is an increase of 593.0 in the seven days through December 3.
Basildon in Essex ranks second, where the rate has risen sharply from 391.0 to 643.2, with 1,204 new cases.
Medway, also in Kent, has the third highest rate, from 613.5 to 638.7, with 1,779 new cases.
Aside from Basildon, the areas with the highest weekly jumps are Ashford (from 220.7 to 496.8, with 646 new cases); Hastings (from 153.2 to 396.1, with 367 new cases); and Canterbury (from 273.3 to 506.7, with 838 new cases).
The list has been calculated by the PA news agency, based on data from Public Health England published on December 14 in the Government’s coronavirus control panel.
