THE rate of new coronavirus cases in Warrington has surpassed 300, according to the latest Public Health England figures.

In the seven days up to October 6, there were 644 new cases recorded in the town – a rise compared with 582 in the week up to October 5 and 429 in the previous week up to September 29.

This is partly due to the highest number of cases being found in one day since the pandemic began, with 107 recorded on October 5 alone.

As such, Warrington’s rate of new cases now stands at 306.6 per 100,000 people.

This is again higher than the rate of 277.1 in the week up to October 5 and 204.3 in the week up to September 29.

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).

Data for the most recent three days, October 7-9, has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Nottingham has the highest rate in England, with 2,532 new cases recorded in the seven days to October 6 - the equivalent of 760.6 cases per 100,000 people.

Knowsley has the second highest rate, which has leapt from 391.1 to 657.6, with 992 new cases.
