Teesside is the new Covid hotspot in England with three areas seeing huge rises as infections continue to rocket ahead of Freedom Day.
Coronavirus cases have increased by 93% in most English regions, just days before all restrictions are due to end on July 19.
South Tyneside continues to have the highest rate, with 2,052 new cases in the seven days to July 8, the equivalent of 1,359.2 per 100,000 people.
But three areas of Teesside - Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland - have seen huge rises in Covid cases, reports Teesside Live.
The recent figures, based on Public Health England data, have been recorded in the seven days to July 8.
The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.
They take into account the number of people who have tested positive for the virus in either a lab-reported or rapid lateral flow test, by specimen date.

Data for the most recent four days (July 9-12) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
Infection rates in Hartlepool remain the highest on Teesside up from 419.6 to 877.6 with 822 new cases.
Middlesbrough also recorded a sharp increase up from 341.2 to 783.1 with 1,104 new cases.
Meanwhile in Redcar and Cleveland, the number of positive cases have increased from 380.6 to 687.6, with 943 new cases.

The latest figures showing rising infections come after Boris Johnson told the nation on Monday that he plans to scrap almost all remaining lockdown rules on July 19.
However he has urged people to continue obeying many restrictions, such as wearing face masks, even though they will no longer be compulsory.
Below are the coronavirus infection rates for every local authority area in England.
