Coronavirus cases in Cornwall rate falls in first week of August

The latest data, published yesterday by the government, shows the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority in England.

The figures, for the seven days to August 3, 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 three days (August 4 to 6) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

In Cornwall and Isles of Scilly the rate has fallen from 3.3 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days up to July 27 (19 new cases) to now sitting at 1.4 cases per 100,000 people, with eight new cases in the seven days to August 3.

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on August 6 on the government’s coronavirus online dashboard.

It also shows that in Blackburn with Darwen, which last week had the highest rate of cases in the UK - with 89.3 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to July 27 and a total of 133 new cases recorded - has fallen to 82.2 in the seven days to August 3, with 123 new cases recorded. However, it remains at the top of the list for new cases.
