Worst outbreak areas in Liverpool as coronavirus restrictions hit Merseyside

Liverpool's Covid-19 infection rate is now one of the worst in the entire country.

The city's level of 163.6 per 100,000 is one of the highest across the whole nation, with new local and national restrictions being imposed on the city in the hope of stemming the surge in cases.

The latest data shows that there were 815 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the past seven days, a huge increase on the 291 cases recorded the week before that.

In July the city was recording just 14 cases per week.

These figures explain why the city has now been hit with new local lockdown restrictions, including a ban on different households mixing.
