Coronavirus cases continue to spike in England with the five fastest growing hotspots all in Lancashire as Boris Johnson gets set to deliver his 'freedom day' verdict.
The Prime Minister will announce whether the government is going ahead with the June 21 unlocking, or delaying the fourth and final phase of the roadmap out of lockdown on Monday.
Scientists are urging the government to delay the easing of restrictions to allow more time to ramp up the vaccine rollout curb the spread of the 'Delta' variant of the virus which first emerged in India.
The government has vowed to give all adults at least one dose of the jab by the end of July.
Case rates have been steadily increasing in recent weeks as the new mutant strain overcomes its Kent predecessor as the most dominant variant in the UK.
All five of the areas recording the biggest week-on-week rises are now in Lancashire, with Blackburn with Darwen in the lead after Bolton in Greater Manchester made strides in reversing its position as the top Covid hotspot.
Daily case numbers were the highest since late February on Sunday, as figures top 7,000 new infections daily again.
However daily deaths have remained relatively low as officials credit the vaccine rollout for preventing the virus causing severe illness.
But the virus is still on the increase in most areas of England, according to the latest official figures.
Of the 315 local areas in England, 285 (90%) have seen a rise in rates, 24 (8%) have seen a fall and six are unchanged in the seven days to June 9.
Blackburn with Darwen continues to have the highest rate, with 927 new cases in the seven days to June 9, the equivalent of 619.3 cases per 100,000 people - up from 518.4 in the seven days to June 2.
Ribble Valley in Lancashire has the second highest rate, up from 197.1 to 448.4, with 273 new cases.
Hyndburn - also in Lancashire - has the third highest, up from 245.5 to 410.9, with 333 new cases.
The five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are all in Lancashire. They are:
Ribble Valley (up from 197.1 to 448.4)
Pendle (107.5 to 304.0)
Hyndburn (245.5 to 410.9)
Burnley (205.8 to 368.9)
South Ribble (177.8 to 327.7)
Full list of infection rates by area
Here is Sunday's update of Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.
The figures, for the seven days to June 9, are based on the number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in either a lab-reported or rapid lateral flow test, by specimen date.
The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.
Data for the most recent four days (June 10-13) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
The list has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on June 13 on the Government's coronavirus dashboard.
Here is the list in full.
From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to June 9; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to June 9; rate of new cases in the seven days to June 2; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to June 2.
