Latest weekly Covid-19 rates for local authority areas in England
Northampton continues to record the highest rate, thanks to an outbreak at a sandwich factory.
Here is Monday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority in England.
The figures, for the seven days to August 14, 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 (August 15-17) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
