The 15 Sheffield areas where coronavirus cases are FALLING fastest

New data has revealed the Sheffield neighbourhoods where coronavirus cases are dropping.

The figures, from Public Health England, show where positive cases of Covid-19 are falling the quickest across Sheffield as the city gets to grips with a month-long national lockdown.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Sheffield since the pandemic began has passed 20,000.

But new figures show that the rate of Covid-19 infections in the city is continuing to fall, with fewer than 400 new cases per 100,000 people recorded during the latest week.
