Here is Wednesday's update of Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to May 1, are based on the number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in either a lab-reported or rapid lateral flow test, by specimen date.

The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.

Data for the most recent four days (May 2-5) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Of the 315 local areas in England, 108 (34%) have seen a rise in rates, 193 (61%) have seen a fall and 14 are unchanged.

Hyndburn continues to have the highest rate, with 107 new cases in the seven days to May 1 - the equivalent of 132.0 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 61.7 in the seven days to April 24.

Bolton has the second highest rate, up from 47.6 to 82.8, with 238 new cases.

North Lincolnshire has the third highest, up from 66.7 to 72.6, with 125 new cases.

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

Hyndburn (up from 61.7 to 132.0)

Bolton (47.6 to 82.8)

Blackburn with Darwen (34.7 to 52.1)
