BASINGSTOKE continues to see a rise in Covid cases, as the latest figures are released.

The figures, for the seven days to January 7, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

Of the 315 local areas in England, 222 (70 per cent) have seen a rise in case rates, 91 (29 per cent) have seen a fall and two are unchanged.

Basingstoke reported 909 cases of the virus in the seven days to January 7, at a rate of 514.8 cases per 100,000 people. This is up from 30.4 per cent from the previous seven days up to December 31 where 697 cases were recorded.

Basingstoke is now classified as a hotspot area and cases are expected to rise after Professor Chris Whitty During stated yesterday, January 11, ‘I don’t think we’re yet at the peak, I’m afraid’.

Data for the most recent four days (January 8-11) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

Elsewhere in Hampshire, Rushmoor is has the seventh highest rolling rate in the UK with 1225 new positive cases recorded in the seven days to January 7, giving it a rolling rate of 1294.9 cases per 100,000 people.

Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,251 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 7 – the equivalent of 1,527.0 cases per 100,000 people.

This is down very slightly from 1,531.2 in the seven days to December 31.

Newham, also in London, has the second highest rate, up from 1,336.6 to 1,390.1 with 4,909 new cases.

Redbridge, again in London, has the third highest rate, down from 1,420.9 to 1,342.3, with 4,097 new cases.
