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

Here is Saturday’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 23, 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 (September 24-26) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Burnley has the highest rate in England, up from 145.1 in the seven days to September 16.

Liverpool has the second highest rate, up from 131.1 to 243.8 with 1,214 new cases.

Knowsley is in third place, where the rate has risen from 132.6 to 241.9, with 365 new cases.

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

– Newcastle upon Tyne (up from 87.2 to 228.8, with 693 new cases)

– Pendle (up from 97.7 to 203.0 with 187 new cases)

– Sunderland (up from 78.9 to 180.0, with 500 new cases)

– Halton (up from 125.2 to 214.0 with 277 new cases)

– Sefton (up from 74.2 to 162.8, with 450 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 26 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
