Coronavirus infection rates are now dropping across the whole of Lancashire

Even Hyndburn, which has been the only area in the east with increasing rates in recent days, has seen a dip in its infection rate.

It comes after the Government announced yesterday that the whole county would be placed under tier 3 – meaning bars and restaurants must remain closed in the run up to Christmas.

The decision caused fury in parts of Lancashire, including in the Ribble Valley where the infection rate has dropped significantly to below 200 cases per 100,000 people.

The figures, for the seven days to November 22, 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 (November 23-26) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

A majority of areas in England (283 out of 315) have seen a fall in case rates.

Swale in Kent continues to have the highest rate in England, with 799 new cases recorded in the seven days to November 22 – the equivalent of 532.4 cases per 100,000 people.

 

This is down from 637.7 in the seven days to November 15.

Thanet has the second highest rate, down from 522.8 to 478.4, with 679 new cases.

Hull is in third place, where the rate has dropped sharply from 748.3 to 460.0, with 1,195 new cases.

The areas with the biggest week-on-week jump in rates are Medway (up from 322.7 to 442.3, with 1,232 new cases); Gravesham (up from 315.1 to 392.7, with 420 new cases); and Dover (up from 212.5 to 289.5, with 342 new cases).

Here is the list in full. From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to November 22; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 22; rate of new cases in the seven days to November 15; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 15.
