In the seven days up to September 21, the town saw 277 new cases of Covid-19 recorded, eclipsing the 258 in the week up to September 20 and 220 in the week up to September 14.

Warrington’s rate of new cases now stands at 131.9 per 100,000 people, demonstrating a rise compared with 122.8 in the seven days up to September 20.
