Every London borough shows a rise in cases in the week to 9th December, along with almost every local part of the surrounding counties in the East and South East. Not pretty.
The East Midlands counties all have some local authorities with rising cases in the week to 9th Dec. Fewer rises in the West Midlands, but cases remain relatively high in Birmingham & surrounds and much of Staffordshire.
In the North of England, areas with rising rates are still the exception and not the rule in the week to 9th Dec. They include South Tyneside, Midd'boro, parts of Lancs, and Cumbria. Still plenty of falls, although a bunch of places also have stable rates.
In Scotland, areas with rising rates included East Lothian, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Falkirk in the week to 9th December. Falls included Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Argyll & Bute.
