The weekly Covid infection rate of every Yorkshire area with hotspots in Bradford, Rotherham and Kirklees

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

Bradford has the highest infection rate in Yorkshire at 254.0 cases per 100,00 people. The case rates in all areas have fallen.

The latest figures, for the seven days to January 28, 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 (January 29-February 1) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases. Of the 315 local areas in England, four (one per cent) have seen a rise in case rates and 311 (99 per cent) have seen a fall. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
