Latest coronavirus infection rates in Sheffield as cases start to creep up

The figures, for the seven days to December 16, 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 (December 17-20) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 285 (90%) have seen a rise in case rates, 29 (9%) have seen a fall and one remains unchanged.

Thurrock has the highest rate in the country after seeing the largest week-on-week jump in England, with 1,841 new cases recorded in the seven days to December 16 – the equivalent of 1,056.0 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 387.2 in the seven days to December 9.

Havering in London has the second highest rate, up from 513.6 to 1,021.8, with 2,652 new cases.

Basildon in Essex is in third place, where the rate has risen from 619.7 to 995.2, with 1,863 new cases.

The areas with the biggest week-on-week jumps other than Thurrock are: Rochford (up from 266.7 to 864.2, with 755 new cases); Epping Forest (up from 382.7 to 956.8, with 1,260 new cases); Havering; and Castle Point (up from 289.9 to 787.8, with 712 new cases).

All these areas are in the new Tier 4 announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday.

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency, based on Public Health England data published on December 20 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

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 December 16; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 16; rate of new cases in the seven days to December 9; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to December 9.
