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

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

The figures, for the seven days to May 21, 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 22-25) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 134 (43%) have seen a rise in rates, 167 (53%) have seen a fall and 14 are unchanged.

Bolton in Greater Manchester continues to have the highest rate, with 1,300 new cases in the seven days to May 21 – the equivalent of 452.1 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 300.8 in the seven days to May 14.

Blackburn with Darwen in Lancashire has the second highest rate, up from 130.9 to 301.9, with 452 new cases.

Bedford has the third highest, up from 128.1 to 193.9, with 336 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are:
Blackburn with Darwen (up from 130.9 to 301.9)
Bolton (300.8 to 452.1)
Rossendale (28.0 to 113.3)
Bedford (128.1 to 193.9)
Kirklees (70.5 to 106.6)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on May 25 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
