Coronavirus: Daily update shows Peterborough’s new cases rate remains high

The latest update of the rolling rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority in England showed Peterborough was up from 18.9 to 30.3, with 61 new cases for the seven days to July 12.

This compares to yesterday’s figure which listed the city as up from 13.9 to 32.3, with 65 new cases recorded in the seven days to July 11.

The figures 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 population.

In Leicester, the rate has dropped from 127.2 in the seven days to July 5 to 104.4 in the seven days to July 12.

It was 143.6 in the seven days to June 28.

Second on the list is Pendle, where the rate has gone up from 14.2 to 74.4, and where 68 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 12.

Other areas reporting notable week-on-week jumps include:

- Blackburn with Darwen (up from 29.5 to 48.3, with 72 new cases in the seven days to July 12)

- Herefordshire (up from 2.1 to 37.0, with 71 new cases recorded in the seven days to July 12, linked to an outbreak on a farm near Worcester)

- Braintree (up from 3.3 to 22.4, with 34 new cases)

The list is based on Public Health England figures updated on July 15 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Data for the most recent three days (July 13 to 15) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
