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

The rate for the Dorset Council area is  57.9 per 100,000 following 219 cases in the past week.

That is down from a rate of 79.8 per 100,000 a week ago when 302 cases were recorded.

The figures, for the seven days to February 25, 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 (February 26-March 1) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
