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

Here is Wednesday’s update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to December 26, 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 27-30) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Epping Forest in Essex has the highest rate in England, with 1,740 new cases recorded in the seven days to December 26 – the equivalent of 1,321.3 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 1,211.9 in the seven days to December 19.

Brentwood, also in Essex, has the second highest rate, up from 1,238.6 to 1,288.0, with 992 new cases.

Thurrock, again in Essex, is in third place, where the rate has fallen slightly from 1,305.5 to 1,245.8, with 2,172 new cases.

The areas recording the biggest week-on-week jumps are Watford (up from 523.9 to 860.5, with 831 new cases); Rushmoor (up from 428.1 to 736.8, with 697 new cases); and Three Rivers (up from 529.3 to 832.6, with 777 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 26; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 26; rate of new cases in the seven days to December 19; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 19.
