A Public Health England graph shows the stark difference between Nottinghamshire's first and second wave of coronavirus.
Cases are much higher now in the county than they were during the peak of the first wave in April.
The data does not include Nottingham city, but Nottinghamshire County Council's latest surveillance report shows there have been 15,334 Covid cases recorded up to November 1 since the start of the pandemic here.
The report also shows the median age for Covid-19 cases now stands at 37 for Nottinghamshire.
It comes on the first week of national lockdown measures being imposed by the Government to tackle rising infection across the country.
There are now 50 percent more people with Covid in the county's hospitals than at the start of April in the peak of the first wave of coronavirus, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire's NHS Clinical Commissioning Group revealed.
The rise in infections in the county recorded across September and October continues to drive an increase in hospitalisations and deaths.
Figures released by the CCG in Nottinghamshire show 361 admissions relating to Covid-19 in the seven days to November 1, compared with 326 for the previous seven days.
There were 456 beds occupied by Covid patients as of November 3 across the county's hospitals.
Of those 456 beds, 7 percent were mechanically ventilated where patients are helped with their breathing.
And there were 56 Covid deaths in hospitals in Nottinghamshire in the seven days to November 4. For comparison, the whole of July and August had two deaths.
Bassetlaw currently has the highest rate in Nottinghamshire, with 563 new cases recorded in the seven days to November 5 - the equivalent of 478.5 cases per 100,000 people.
This is up from 371.2 cases per 100,000 in the seven days to October 29.
The district has the seventeenth highest rate in England.
Meanwhile, discussions for Nottinghamshire to become the next region for mass coronavirus testing took place on Monday afternoon (November 9), it is understood.
The announcement, expected to cover the city of Nottingham and the wider county, would follow the pilot scheme in Liverpool.
The hope is that by identifying those carrying the virus without symptoms and asking them to isolate, the infection level can be brought down, with transmission chains cut.
