Here is Friday’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 November 23, 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 (November 24-27) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

A majority of areas in England (298 out of 315) have seen a fall in case rates.

Swale in Kent continues to have the highest rate in England, with 841 new cases recorded in the seven days to November 23 – the equivalent of 560.4 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down from 655.0 in the seven days to November 16.

Thanet has the second highest rate, down from 521.4 to 468.6, with 665 new cases.

Boston is in third place, where the rate has dropped from 468.8 to 453.2, with 318 new cases.

The areas with the biggest week-on-week jump in rates are Medway (up from 343.6 to 447.7, with 1,247 new cases); Harlow (up from 151.6 to 225.1, with 196 new cases); and Ipswich (up from 92.0 to 157.8, with 216 new cases).

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency, based on Public Health England data published on November 27 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 November 23; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 23; rate of new cases in the seven days to November 16; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 16.
