Latest weekly Covid-19 rates for local authority areas in England

Here is Tuesday’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 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 three days (August 16-18) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

A total of 279 new cases were recorded in the town in the seven days to August 15, the equivalent of 124.2 per 100,000 people – up from 38.7 in the seven days to August 8.

In Blackburn with Darwen the rate has risen from 68.1 to 86.2, with 129 new cases.

Oldham is third, but the rate has dropped from 109.7 to 83.1 with 197 new cases.

In Leicester the rate continues to fall, down from 66.6 to 50.5 with 179 new cases.

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

– Manchester (up from 37.3 to 47.6, with 263 new cases)

– Salford (up from 27.4 to 36.7, with 95 new cases)

– Kirklees (up from 30.0 to 35.7, with 157 new cases)

– Birmingham (up from 19.7 to 31.7, with 362 new cases)
