The latest data on the coronavirus rate for all 315 local authority areas of England has been released – ranked from worst to best.

The rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for the seven days to November 20 is 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 (November 21-24) has been left out of the calculation because it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

And there is some good news, too.

The majority of areas in England – 269 out of 315 – have seen a fall in case rates.

Swale in Kent has the highest rate in England, with 810 new cases recorded in the seven days to November 20 – the equivalent of 539.7 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down from 590.3 in the seven days to November 13.

Hull has the second highest rate, down from 760.6 to 529.3, with 1,375 new cases.

Thanet is in third place, where the rate has dropped slightly from 525.6 to 491.8, with 698 new cases.

East Lindsey in Lincolnshire is fourth with 667 new cases, the equivalent of 470.6 per 100,000 people.

Stoke-on-Trent is fifth, with 1,163 new cases – at a rate of 453.6 per 100,000.

The areas with the largest week-on-week increase in rates are Medway in Kent (up from 306.9 to 415.0, with 1,156 new cases); Gravesham in Kent (up from 309.5 to 384.3, with 411 new cases); and Dover (up from 200.6 to 266.7, with 315 new cases).

The list has been calculated by the Press Association news agency.

It is based on Public Health England data published on November 24 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full.

From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to November 20; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 20; rate of new cases in the seven days to November 13; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to November 13.
