People living in Leeds cannot meet socially indoors or in most outdoor places with anybody they do not live with, and hospitality venues will remain closed except for takeaway and delivery. However, the rate of Covid infections in the city is currently falling day-by-day, with the average infection rate now down to 273.2 new cases per 100,000 people.

Here are the worst-affected areas of the city in the seven days to November 18, the latest available figures. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
