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

The figures, for the seven days to January 7, 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 four days (January 8-11) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 222 (70%) have seen a rise in case rates, 91 (29%) have seen a fall and two are unchanged.

Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,251 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 7 – the equivalent of 1,527.0 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down very slightly from 1,531.2 in the seven days to December 31.

Newham, also in London, has the second highest rate, up from 1,336.6 to 1,390.1 with 4,909 new cases.

Redbridge, again in London, has the third highest rate, down from 1,420.9 to 1,342.3, with 4,097 new cases.

The 10 areas with the biggest week-on-week rise in rates are:

1 Knowsley (up from 537.6 to 1,341.0)
2 Halton (639.8 to 1,227.1)
3 Liverpool (461.2 to 988.5)
4 Sefton (495.3 to 1,018.4)
5 Tendring (764.9 to 1,201.5)
6 St Helens (371.0 to 797.4)
7 Isle of Wight (707.5 to 1,108.1)
8 Wirral (560.8 to 921.3)
9 Worcester (400.1 to 746.9)
10 Bournemouth Christchurch & Poole (503.1 to 844.9)
