CORONAVIRUS cases are still rising in 234 areas in the UK and this interactive map reveals if your local authority is on the list.
Infections have fallen in 141 places and Trafford in Greater Manchester currently has the most infections in the UK.
At the height of the pandemic last year, Manchester was riddled with Covid infections and mayor Andy Burnham actively tried to prevent the area going into a stricter lockdown tier.
Trafford currently has the highest rate in the country with 1,978 new cases in the seven days to October 7 – the equivalent of 832.6 per 100,000 people.
This is up sharply from 516.9 in the seven days to September 30.
Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria has the second highest rate, up from 668.4 to 782.3, with 522 new cases.
Kettering in Northamptonshire has the third highest rate, down from 907.9 to 775.8, with 793 new cases.
Vale of Glamorgan has the highest rate in Wales (692.6); Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon has the highest rate in Northern Ireland (504.1); and West Lothian has the highest rate in Scotland (442.3).
While Trafford has the highest rate of infections, it is also one of the five areas that has seen the biggest jump in rates.
East Northamptonshire has gone from 431.1 to 644.6 per 100,000.
The health boss in the area has this week said she feels ‘helpless’ over the rise in cases.
Lucy Wightman, Northamptonshire’s top health official said the rises had been seen mainly in school-aged kids.
She said: “We’ve been on the brink of putting out firmer messaging but our challenge is that we don’t have the legal power to enforce anymore.
“Most places are in very similar positions, we are feeling slightly helpless.”
