COVID case rates in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area have risen slightly, according to the last weekly data.

In the seven days to April 15, a rate of 13.7 per 100,000 people was recorded across the conurbation with 54 cases in total.

This increased slightly from a rate of 11.1 and 44 cases the previous rolling seven days.

In the Dorset area, the case rate has dropped from 16.9 to 11.1.

The number of cases fell from 64 to 42. 

The figures are based on the number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in either a lab-reported or rapid lateral flow test, by specimen date.

The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.

Data for the most recent four days (April 16-19) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 117 (37%) have seen a rise in case rates, 186 (59%) have seen a fall and 12 are unchanged.

Luton has the highest rate in England, with 195 new cases recorded in the seven days to April 15 – the equivalent of 91.5 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up slightly from 84.5 cases per 100,000 in the seven days to April 8.

Doncaster has the second highest rate, up very slightly from 79.2 to 80.5, with 251 new cases.

Bradford has the third highest rate, down slightly from 84.5 to 74.1, with 400 new cases.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rise are:

Cambridge (up from 19.2 to 45.7)

Canterbury (12.7 to 34.5)

Nuneaton & Bedworth (24.6 to 46.2)

South Lakeland (4.8 to 23.8)

Guildford (8.1 to 25.5)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on April 19 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.
