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

It now stands at 8.7 per 100,000 after 33 positive cases were reported.

That is up from 7.4 per 100,000 seven days earlier when 28 cases were recorded.

The figures, for the seven days to May 13, 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 14-17) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

This is up from 133.9 in the seven days to May 6.
