The weekly Covid infection rate of every Yorkshire area as Leeds, Bradford and Rotherham are hotspots

This is the weekly Covid-19 infection rate of every local authority area in Yorkshire.

Bradford has the highest infection rate in Yorkshire at 225.5 cases per 100,00 people. The case rate in Ryedale in North Yorkshire has risen since the previous week.

The latest figures, for the seven days to February 4, 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 (February 5-8) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases. Of the 315 local areas in England, 11 (three per cent) have seen a rise in case rates and 304 (97 per cent) have seen a fall. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
