The latest coronavirus rate for every Yorkshire area after Excel spreadsheet data error

The Covid-19 infection rate has risen sharply across every local authority area in Yorkshire this week after a technical error saw nearly 16,000 Covid-19 cases go unreported.

This is the weekly infection rate of every Yorkshire area following the new cases which have come to light, listed in descending order. The following figures, for the seven days to October 2, 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 three days (October 3-5) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised. Pictures are for illustrative purposes only.
