Latest weekly Covid-19 rates for local authority areas in England

However, that is a decrease from 511.3 per 100,000 a week earlied when 2,030 cases were confirmed.

Meanwhile, the Dorset Council area's Covid infection rate has increased.

It now stands at 315.4 per 100,000 people following 1,198 positive cases over the latest seven-day reporting period.

That is up from 289.1 per 100,000 seven days earlier when 1,098 cases were recorded.

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