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

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

The figures, for the seven days to May 20, 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 21-24) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 116 (37%) have seen a rise in rates, 185 (59%) have seen a fall and 14 are unchanged.

Bolton in Greater Manchester continues to have the highest rate, with 1,296 new cases in the seven days to May 20 – the equivalent of 450.7 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 282.4 in the seven days to May 13.

Blackburn with Darwen in Lancashire has the second highest rate, up from 114.2 to 280.6, with 420 new cases.

Bedford has the third highest, up from 122.9 to 187.0, with 324 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are:
Bolton (up from 282.4 to 450.7)
Blackburn with Darwen (114.2 to 280.6)
Bedford (122.9 to 187.0)
Rossendale (21.0 to 76.9)
Bury (29.3 to 61.3)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on May 24 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
