The coronavirus infection rate has doubled in the Windsor and Maidenhead areas according to the latest figures.
The latest update (October
of the rolling seven-day rate of new Covid-19 cases for every local authority area in England shows the area has a new rate of 76.6 up from 31.7 in the previous week.
The figures, for the seven days to October 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 three days (October 5-7) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
At present Knowsley now has the highest rate in England, with 867 new cases recorded in the seven days to October 4 – the equivalent of 574.7 cases per 100,000 people.
This is up sharply from 334.7 per 100,000 in the seven days to September 27.
The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on Wednesday, October 7 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.
