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 May 17, 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 18-21) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 97 (31%) have seen a rise in rates, 202 (64%) have seen a fall and 16 are unchanged.

Bolton in Greater Manchester continues to have the highest rate, with 1,106 new cases in the seven days to May 17 – the equivalent of 384.6 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 225.0 in the seven days to May 10.

Blackburn with Darwen in Lancashire has the second highest rate, up from 108.2 to 187.0, with 280 new cases.

Bedford has the third highest, up from 102.7 to 142.0, with 246 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are:
Bolton (up from 225.0 to 384.6)
Blackburn with Darwen (108.2 to 187.0)
Bedford (102.7 to 142.0)
Bury (18.8 to 46.1)
North Tyneside (25.0 to 51.5)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on May 21 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.
