Latest weekly Covid-19 rates for local authority areas in England
Nine areas are now recording rates higher than 1,000 new cases per 100,000 people.
Here is Tuesday’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 December 18, 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 four days (December 19-22) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
Of the 315 local areas in England, 285 (90%) have seen a rise in case rates and 30 (10%) have seen a fall.
This is up steeply from 512.2 in the seven days to December 11.
Havering in London has the second highest rate, up from 597.2 to 1190.9, with 3,091 new cases.
Epping Forest in Essex is in third place, where the rate has risen from 507.3 to 1146.6, with 1,510 new cases.
After Thurrock, the areas with the biggest week-on-week jumps are Rochford (up from 337.7 to 1041.6, with 910 new cases); Castle Point (up from 366.2 to 1011.3, with 914 new cases); and Brentwood (up from 453.1 to 1095.8, with 844 new cases).
Here is the list in full. From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; the tier of Covid-19 restrictions in which the local authority is currently placed; rate of new cases in the seven days to December 18; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 18; rate of new cases in the seven days to December 11; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 11.
