New data has revealed the 15 areas of Greater Manchester with the highest current rates of Covid-19.

The Ladybarn area of Manchester - between Withington, Burnage and Fallowfield - tops the hot-spot list, according to the statistics.

The Manchester Evening News has analysed the latest Government data.

The interactive map gives a ward-by-ward breakdown of the latest case rates, for the the week ending June 14.

Areas in dark purple are those with the highest current rates - locations with more than 800 cases per 100,000 of the population living there.

The Ladybarn area recorded 817.5 cases per 100,000 of the population.

According to the statistics, there were 79 total cases over the seven day period, an increase of 34 cases or 75 per cent.

Ladybarn is the only area of Greater Manchester in the 800 plus bracket, the map reveals.

The rest of Greater Manchester is in the 400-799 case rate bracket - or lower.

The 'Salford central and university' area of the city follows Ladybarn, with 720.1 cases per 100,000 of the population.

The data shows there were 109 cases in the week, a jump of 20.

Following that area of Salford, the city centre north and Collyhurst area recorded 52 new Covid cases in the seven days to June 14, an increase of six cases or 13 per cent.

The case rate stood at 707 cases per 100,000 of the population.

After that come Hulme Park and St Georges - at 636.7 cases - and Withingon East, which had a rate of 632.5 cases per 100,000.

Then come:

New Islington and Miles Platting - 630.5 cases.

Ordsall and Salford Quays - 535.8 cases.

Withington West - 519.8 cases.

Walkden North East, Salford - 517.6 cases.

Withington North and Old Moat - 506.8 cases.

Elton Vale, Bury - 497.8 cases.

Fallowfield Central - 493.8 cases.

Langworthy Buile Hill, Salford - 487.8 cases.

Swinton West, Salford -485.9 cases.

Lightoaks, Salford - 484.2 cases.

All 15 areas have far higher cases than the national average, which on Saturday stood at 85.4 cases per 100,000, although that represents a 33 per cent increase from the previous seven day period.

The figures for Ladybarn (Gov.uk)

The map shows data for different area types.

Local authorities are divided into Upper Tier Local Authorities (UTLA) and Lower Tier Local Authorities (LTLA) for areas with two tiers of local government, such as county council (upper tier) and district council (lower tier).

The Middle layer Super Output Areas (MSOA) are smaller than local authorities, so show data at the most local level.

The M.E.N.'s analysis is based on those MSOA figures.

Blackburn with Darwen, in Lancashire, has been recording the highest Covid rates in the country, but figures now show a drop in the case rates.

The area recorded 804 new cases in the seven days to June 14 - the equivalent of 537.1 cases per 100,000 people, down from 667.4 per 100,000 in the seven days to June 7.

In Bolton, there was the equivalent of 273.7 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to June 14, down from 314.4 in the previous week.

Those living in places with a rise in cases have been advised to minimise travel in and out of their areas and the Government has provided more support for surge testing, tracing, isolation support and maximising vaccine uptake.

Speaking today, the mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said he was still asking the Government for help to vaccinate more people.
