The data shows rates of infection expressed per 100,000 people and reveals that areas such as Bradford, Stockton-on-Tees, Charnwood and Loughborough have all seen an alarming increase in COVID-19.

In the last week, Bradford has seen a further 2,682 new cases of the virus, taking them from 374.8 cases per 100,000 people to 496.9. The West Yorkshire town is currently undergoing talks with the government in order to move the area up to tier three. However, no further announcements have been made on the situation.

Stockton-on-Tees has also fallen victim to the pandemic after the County Durham town went from 360.8 cases per 100,000 to 444.4 in the last seven days ending on the 23rd of October.

The North Leicestershire towns of Charnwood and Loughborough have also seen some worrying increases in their ‘R rates’ going from 284.1 to 437.4 per 100,000 after recording 813 new cases.

The other 10 areas with soaring cases that are yet to move into tier three include Calderdale, Wakefield, Leeds, Kirklees, Middlesbrough, South Staffordshire, Gateshead, North East Derbyshire, North East Lincolnshire and Bristol.

Full list of infection rates across the UK

Below is a full list ofcoronavirus infection rates across the UK for the week ending on the 23rd of October. The rates are expressed per 100,000 people.

The data for the most recent four days has been marked as incomplete and has therefore not been included in the figures.

So far, Blackburn with Darwen continues to have the highest rate of infection at 785.6 cases out of 100,000 people after registering 1,176 new cases over the last week.

Rosendale and Oldham are coming in second and third with rates of infection now at 675.7 and 655.0 respectively.

However, Nottingham, Liverpool, Newcastle and Exeter have been lucky enough to see a slow but steady fall in coronavirus cases. Mostly thanks to their tier-three conditions.
