Half of care homes in Leeds have reported outbreaks of coronavirus.
There have been a total of 82 suspected or confirmed Covid-19 outbreaks reported in care homes in Leeds between March 9 and May 10.
That means 54 per cent of the 151 care homes in Leeds have had cases.
The figures also show that 219 people died at care homes in Leeds after testing positive for the virus, between March 6 and May 8.
Last week (ending May 10), there were five new suspected or confirmed outbreaks in care homes in the area.
That was down from 10 newly reported the week before, and down from a peak of 21 reports in the week ending April 26.
Across England, a total of 5,546 suspected or confirmed Covid-19 outbreaks have been reported in care homes.
This data comes from reports to Public Health England (PHE) of infectious disease outbreaks in residential and nursing homes.
Any individual care home will only be included in the dataset once. If a care home has reported more than one outbreak, only the first is included in this dataset.
However, it’s not possible to know from the data if the reported outbreaks are still ongoing.
In the week ending May 10, 418 new outbreaks were reported - that was a drop from 699 a week before.
However, while most regions saw falls, in the South East, the number of suspected or confirmed outbreaks being reported rose from 103 to 118.
