Liverpool areas with the highest rates of Covid-19

Liverpool is emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, but the city still has some high levels of the virus in circulation.

Thankfully the combination of vaccines and the less severe Omicron variant have meant that the city's position has improved greatly in recent weeks.

However, the latest figures show that in the week leading up to February 20, the total number of confirmed cases in Liverpool was 1,586.

Some parts of the city are suffering with higher levels of the virus than others.

The most affected ward at present is the city centre area, where 88 cases were recorded in the past seven days.
