Covid: BCP area sees sixth biggest case increase in England

The rate has increased from 607.3 per 100,000 petople to 881.0 in a week.

In the Dorset Council area meanwhile the rate has increased to 327.9 per 100,000 from 309.1.

• Shocking figures show infections doubling every five days in BCP area

The figures, for the seven days to January 9, 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 10-13) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 154 (49%) have seen a rise in case rates, 159 (50%) have seen a fall and two are unchanged.

Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,205 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 9 – the equivalent of 1,505.4 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down slightly from 1,634.5 in the seven days to January 2.

Knowsley in Merseyside has the second highest rate, up from 796.8 to 1,399.3, with 2,111 new cases.

Newham in London is in third place, down very slightly from 1,406.3 to 1,398.3, with 4,938 new cases.

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

1 Knowsley (up from 796.8 to 1,399.3)
2 Liverpool (612.2 to 1,048.1)
3 Sefton (650.1 to 1,075.9)
