Covid-19

Covid cases are rising in 298 areas – is YOURS on the hotspot list?

By Gilles Mischler

CORONAVIRUS cases are rising in 298 places in the UK and this interactive map reveals if your local area is one of them.

Infections have fallen in 76 places and deaths as a result of the virus are currently at their lowest level in three weeks.

Data for the week up to November 18 shows that cases have shot up in Torridge in Devon and the map above shows the most recent infection rates.

Torridge is still the most infected place in the UK with with 699 new cases in the seven days to November 18 – the equivalent of 1,017.2 per 100,000 people.

This is up from 714.5 in the seven days to November 11.

Public health officials in the area have urged people to continue to come forward for their vaccines and have also asked that residents only call 999 if there is an emergency.

On their social media pages, Torridge and Devon councils have urged residents to use the right services for their health complaints so that the NHS does not get overwhelmed this winter.

Gwynedd in Wales has the second highest rate of infections in the country, up from 604.0 to 878.0, with 1,099 new cases.

One doctor this week said that patients were suffering because of high demand on the health service in the area.

A doctor at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor told ITV Wales that patients were not getting the care they needed due to time constraints.

But Wales’ Health Minister Eluned Morgan MS said while the service was under pressure, patients aren’t being harmed – but are having to wait a little bit longer.

Mid Ulster in Northern Ireland has the third highest rate, up from 572.0 to 871.4, with 1,298 new cases.

Moray has the highest rate in Scotland (557.9).

Across the UK a further 44,917 people tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday – a 23 per cent increase compared to this day last month.

But the country’s daily death count of 45 is the lowest recorded since November 1, when 40 people died after testing positive for the disease.

The top three most infected areas in the country are also the top three where cases have increased the most in the last week.

However, cases have also witnessed a dramatic jump in East Hampshire, climbing from 363.4 to 614.5.

The South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS), which is responsible for several areas including Hampshire this week said that hospital delays remain a ‘significant challenge’ for the team.

Head of operations, Tracy Redman said: “We have seen the impact of Covid-19 actually reducing the delays, however SCAS has experienced the highest number of delays ever recorded in recent weeks.

“The result is that SCAS resources are tied up and unable to respond to other patients in the community during this time.”

Doctors in the area also told local media that there had been a ‘significant increase’ of the number of coronavirus cases in intensive care.

Another area that has seen a significant rise in cases in the last week is Richmondshire in Yorkshire & the Humber, which has jumped from 329.4 cases per 100,000 to 567.6.

Public health director for the area, Penny Spring, said cases are highest among the unvaccinated and particularly school age children.
