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

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

The figures, for the seven days to May 22, are based on the number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in either a lab-reported or rapid lateral flow test, by specimen date.

The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.

Data for the most recent four days (May 23-26) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Bolton in Greater Manchester continues to have the highest rate, with 1,286 new cases in the seven days to May 22 – the equivalent of 447.2 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 321.7 in the seven days to May 15.

Blackburn with Darwen in Lancashire has the second highest rate, up from 145.0 to 313.3, with 469 new cases.

Bedford has the third highest, up from 127.0 to 202.0, with 350 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are:
Blackburn with Darwen (up from 145.0 to 313.3)
Bolton (321.7 to 447.2)
Rossendale (29.4 to 137.1)
Bedford (127.0 to 202.0)
Kirklees (72.1 to 108.5)

Here is the list in full.
