THE rate of coronavirus infection across Cheshire East and West boroughs has fallen again in the space of a week, according to new figures.
In Cheshire East – including Middlewich, Knutsford and Wilmslow – the rate of new cases has halved from 11 per 100,000 in the week up to June 29, to 5.5 in the week up to July 6.
Meanwhile in Cheshire West, including Northwich and Winsford, the rate was 9.4 new cases per 100,000 population in the week up to July 6 – down from 12.9 in the week up to June 29.
Public Health England has begun publishing more comprehensive figures on Covid-19 cases this month.
They now include results from tests carried out in the wider community, known as 'pillar two' data, as well as the results from tests carried out in laboratories which were previously being published.
Previously released data showed that the rate of coronavirus infection fell in both boroughs from the week up to June 21 to the week up to June 28, but these latest figures begin a day later on June 29, giving a different set of numbers to the previous figures published last week.
The data is now also comparing lower tier local authority areas (district councils), rather than upper tier areas (county councils) as before, meaning both Cheshire boroughs stand in the top 90 out of 315 boroughs for coronavirus infection rather than the top 30 of 150 boroughs in the previous figures.
Data for the three most recent days, July 7 to 9, has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
Here is the full list of the weekly rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority in England per 100,000 population in the week up to July 6, followed by the figure for the week up to June 29:
