Latest Covid infection rates in every postcode in the North-East and North Yorkshire

Most recent Public Health England data shows that all council areas across our region have continued to see a downward trend in new infections.

The figures, which compare the Covid infection rate on an almost street-level, shows the rates in the seven days to March 7, compared to February 28.

The infection rate is calculated by the number of cases that have been reported per 100,000 population in each area.

This weekend marks the first since national lockdown restrictions, imposed at the start of January, began to be relaxed this week. 

Although the 'Stay Home' message remains in place, as of March 8 people in England are allowed to meet up with one person from another household in an outdoor public place.

Further lockdown restrictions are set to be reviewed towards the end of the month with beer gardens expected to be allowed to reopen on April 12.
