HERE is Wednesday’s update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to January 9, 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 (January 10-13) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Bradford's infection rate has risen from 252.1, with 1,361 new cases, in the seven days to January 2 to 290.5, with 1,568 new cases in the seven days to January 9.

What's the picture in West Yorkshire?

From left to right, the below reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 9; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 9; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 2; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 2.
