Latest data shows fall in coronavirus infection rate in Cheshire East and West
THE number of people contracting coronavirus in Cheshire East and West has continued to fall, according to new statistics.
The latest Covid-19 infection rate data per local authority in England has been released by Public Health England, and it provides positive reading for Cheshire residents.
In the seven days to July 24, Cheshire West and Chester had a rate of 5.3 new cases per 100,000 people, with Cheshire East having a rate of 1.1.
This is a fall from 7.3 and 5.3 respectively for each borough during the previous seven days.
The figures are based on tests carried out in laboratories – pillar one of the Government's testing programme – and pillar two in the wider community.
Data for July 25-27 has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.
Blackburn with Darwen, which has the highest rate in the country, has seen its rate fall, as has second place Leicester.
But worrying spikes have been recorded in Oldham, Trafford, Hyndburn and Sandwell.
