The coronavirus infection rate has nearly doubled within a week in one area of Berkshire.
Figures revealed in Public Health England's latest release of Covid-19 cases for every local authority area in England, published on Friday (August 28), show that in Windsor and Maidenhead the coronavirus infection rate has jumped.
The rate, which represents the number of new cases per 100,000 people in that area, has gone from 11.9 to 22.5 in seven days. There were 34 new cases in that week compared with 18 the previous week - an increase of 16.
In other areas of the county the infection rate has also increased, for example in Bracknell Forest and Wokingham (figures are listed below)
Meanwhile in Reading and West Berkshire the rate has stayed the same whereas in Slough the rate has decreased.
Below is a list of the number of new cases and Covid-19 rates in every Berkshire local authority.
From left to right, the figures show the rate of new cases in the seven days leading to August 25 followed by the number of new cases recorded in those seven days in brackets.
