The Leeds areas with the highest Covid rates despite national lockdown

These areas have the highest Covid rates in the city

Official Government figures show that since mid-January the rate of positive Covid-19 cases in Leeds has been falling. It's now down to 210.8 new cases per 100,000 people. But infection rates vary across the city's Middle Super Output Areas - a geographic measure of around 8,000 people - and some areas have much higher rates than the city's average. These neighbourhoods had the highest infection rates in the seven days to February 3, the latest available figures. All images are for illustrative purposes only.
