Coronavirus: Daily update on new case rate shows Peterborough’s figure 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 23.9 to 29.8, with 60 new cases recorded in the seven days to July 14.

That figure means the city remains as the eighth highest in the country for the rate of new cases.

The figures, for the seven days to July 14, 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.

Peterborough’s rate per 100,000 has been consistently higher than many other areas in recent days with figures as high as 32.3 earlier this week.

Peterborough’s Director of Public Health Dr Liz Robin told the Peterborough Telegraph today (July 17): “Everybody in Peterborough should be concerned about the rise in coronavirus cases.”

In Leicester, the rate has dropped from 126.1 in the seven days to July 7 to 92.9 in the seven days to July 14.

It was 132.3 in the seven days to June 30.

Second on the list is Blackburn with Darwen, where the rate has gone up from 38.3 to 49.0, and where 73 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 14.

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

- Herefordshire (up from 2.1 to 44.8, with 86 new cases recorded in the seven days to July 14, linked to an outbreak on a farm near Worcester)

- Braintree (up from 4.0 to 33.0, where 50 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 14, linked to an outbreak in a care home)

- Luton (up from 14.0 to 29.4, where 63 new cases have been recorded in the seven days to July 14)

The list is based on Public Health England figures updated on July 17 on the Government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

Data for the most recent three days (July 15-17) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Here is the list in full, showing the rate of new cases in the seven days to July 14, followed by the equivalent figure for the previous seven days to July 7.
