BRADFORD saw one of England's biggest week-on-week rises in its Covid-10 infection rate, latest figures have revealed.

The analysis, by the PA news agency, shows that Bradford has the second highest infection rate in the country and recorded the highest number of new cases in the seven days to April 11.

The figures are 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 (April 12-15) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 103 (33 per cent) have seen a rise in case rates, 198 (63 per cent) have seen a fall and 14 are unchanged.

Bradford has the second highest rate, up slightly from 76.7 to 90.8, with 490 new cases.

It also the highest rate in West Yorkshire, followed by Kirklees, Wakefield, Leeds and Calderdale. There is a huge disparity between Bradford and neighbouring Calderdale, which is 100th on the list and recorded just 59 new cases - down from 100 the previous week.

The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rise are:

Cambridge (up from 14.4 to 36.1)

Canterbury (10.9 to 31.4)

Melton (52.7 to 68.3)

Wycombe (20.6 to 35.5)

Bradford (76.7 to 90.8)

The list, calculated by PA, is based on Public Health England data published on April 15 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

Here is the list in full (other local authorities in West Yorkshire have also been highlighted)
