Bradford sees significant rise in Covid-19 infection rate - while cases in Calderdale surge

The Covid-19 rate in Bradford has seen another significant week-on-week rise.

The figures, for the seven days to October 22, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

According to Monday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases, Bradford now has 470.0 cases per 100,000 people - up from 364.2 per 100,000 the previous week due to 2,537 new cases.

Elsewhere in West Yorkshire, Calderdale saw a concerning surge - up to 418.1 from 258.2 the previous week.

Wakefield's rate rose to 404.2 from 271.9. Leeds saw a steadier rise - up to 415.1 from 375.8, while Kirklees rose to 384.0 from 265.6.

In Blackburn with Darwen in Lancashire, 1,131 new cases were recorded in the seven days to October 22, the equivalent of 755.5 cases per 100,000 people – the highest rate in England.

This is up from 515.0 cases per 100,000 in the seven days to October 15, the largest weekly increase in the country.

Rossendale, also in Lancashire, has the second highest rate, up from 472.8 to 653.3, with 467 new cases.

Oldham in Greater Manchester is in third place, with its rate rising from 415.0 to 625.4, with 1,483 new cases.

But the numbers continue to fall in some of the areas with the highest rates in England.

The rate Nottingham, which will go into Tier 3 of restrictions on Thursday, fell from 726.6 in the seven days to October 15 to 464.4 in the week to October 22, with 1,546 new cases.

In Liverpool, which was one of the first areas placed in Tier 3, the rate fell from 620.0 to 520.2, with 2,591 new cases.

In Knowsley, also in Tier 3, the rate fell from 682.1 to 599.9, with 905 new cases.

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on October 26 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is Monday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to October 22, 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 (October 23-26) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
