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

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

The figures, for the seven days to September 20, 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.

In Bolton, 612 new cases were recorded in the seven days to September 20 – the equivalent of 212.8 per 100,000 people.

Bolton continues to record the highest rate in England, though it is down from 213.9 in the seven days to September 13.

South Tyneside has the second highest rate, up from 98.7 to 189.4 with 286 new cases.

Hyndburn is in third place, where the rate has risen from 132.0 to 183.9, with 149 new cases.

Other areas recording sharp increases in their seven-day rates include:

– Newcastle upon Tyne (up from 67.4 to 158.8, with 481 new cases)

– Halton (up from 81.1 to 168.5, with 218 new cases)

– Pendle (up from 72.7 to 150.9 with 139 new cases)

– Bury (up from 97.9 to 173.3 with 331 new cases)

– Manchester (up from 82.5 to 153.2 with 847 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 23 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
