Warrington Covid rate continues to rise despite UK fall

A total of 29,173 cases were reported by the Government yesterday, Sunday, which is down from the 48,161 recorded a week ago on July 18 – however Warrington’s rate has continued to rise.

The latest official statistics on the spread of coronavirus in Warrington showed that in the week before July 21, the most recent period for which figures are available, a total of 1254 cases were returned in the town.

This demonstrates an infection rate of 597.1 per 100,000 people which is the 56th highest in the UK compared with all over local authority areas.

The previous seven day period up to July 14 saw 1135 cases recorded at a rate of 540 per 100,000, showing there has been an increase in the town’s rate.

Of the 315 local areas in England, Warrington was among the 86 per cent that have seen a week on week rise in rates, whilst 14 per cent have seen a fall, and two remain unchanged.

However, it is the fifth day in a row that the number of daily reported cases has dropped, with average daily cases down 15% week on week.

The last time cases fell for five consecutive days was between February 5 and February 9.

It is too soon for the data to show any impact from the ending of legal restrictions in England last Monday (July 19) due to the time lag between people becoming infected and getting tested.

Government figures also show that a further 28 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Sunday, bringing the UK total to 129,158.

Separate figures published by the Office for National Statistics show there have been 154,000 deaths registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.

Government data also shows that up to July 24, some 46,563,452 first doses of coronavirus vaccine had been administered in the UK, with 37,160,659 second doses.

Redcar & Cleveland continues to have the highest rate of coronavirus rates, with 1,785 new cases in the seven days to July 21, the equivalent of 1,301.5 per 100,000 people.

This is up from 1,268,7 in the seven days to July 14.

Middlesbrough has the second highest rate, up from 1,178.2 to 1,194.5, with 1,684 new cases.

Stockton-on-Tees has the third highest rate, up from 944.5 to 1,081.3, with 2,134 new cases.
