While coronavirus case numbers remain high in student areas such as Hyde Park and Headingley, these suburbs are now seeing the rate of new infections fall. But some Leeds neighbourhoods have seen a big spike in infection rates in the last week, compared to figures for the previous seven days. The rolling rate of coronavirus infections is measured by the number of new cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days of available data. These are the 14 Leeds areas where Covid infection rates have more than doubled in the seven days to October 23, the latest data available, compared to the previous week.
