Meanwhile, in Gateshead the number of new cases decreased from 1,030 to 793, and in Northumberland the number went from 1,703 to 1,291.
There were also fewer cases in all other North East council areas.
The figures 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 (November 9-12) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
Of the 377 local areas in the UK, 66 (18%) have seen a week-on-week rise in rates but 310 (82%) have seen a fall and one is unchanged.
