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

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

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

Of the 315 local areas in England, 140 (44%) have seen a rise in rates, 160 (51%) have seen a fall and 15 are unchanged.

Selby in North Yorkshire continues to have the highest rate, with 104 new cases in the seven days to April 26 – the equivalent of 114.8 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 53.0 in the seven days to April 19.

Hyndburn has the second highest rate, up from 28.4 to 82.7, with 67 new cases.

North Lincolnshire has the third highest, up from 52.8 to 81.8, with 141 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are:
Selby (up from 53.0 to 114.8)
Hyndburn (28.4 to 82.7)
North Lincolnshire (52.8 to 81.8)
Chiltern (11.5 to 28.1)
Herefordshire (16.1 to 32.2)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on April 30 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
