Omicron super hotspots revealed as cases rise in 91% of local areas

CASES of coronavirus have risen in 91 per cent of areas in the UK and this interactive map reveals if your local authority is one of them.

Omicron infections have continued to rise and data from the government shows where Omicron 'super hotspots' are.

A new colour (black) has been added to the Government's coronavirus interactive map to show the places with the most severe Covid cases. This represents new cases per 100,000 in the week to December 16. Black is more than 1,600 cases per 100,000

London seems to be the epicentre of recent Covid infections and Lambeth in London continues to have the highest rate in the UK, with 8,780 new cases in the seven days to December 17 - the equivalent of 2,728.3 per 100,000 people.

This is up from 761.6 in the seven days to December 10.

Wandsworth in London has the second highest rate, up from 751.8 to 2,643.9, with 8,718 new cases.

Hackney & City of London has the third highest rate, up from 676.7 to 2,352.3, with 6,866 new cases.

West Lothian has the highest rate in Scotland (1,022.2, up from 596.2); the Isle of Anglesey has the highest rate in Wales (822.0, up from 711.2); and Ards & North Down has the highest rate in Northern Ireland (818.2, up from 720.1).

While this data focuses on wider borough areas, drilling down further reveals the exact places where infections are high, this is updated at 4pm each day, so these figures go up to December 16.

London is a hotspot and one medic yesterday warned that nine out of 10 patients in intensive care in the capital with Covid are not vaccinated.

Jabs prevent severe disease and three doses are estimated to be 80 per cent effective against the Omicron strain, figures from Imperial College London show.

The Sun is urging readers to sign up to the Jabs Army campaign to make the rollout as smooth and fast as possible.

A booster shot is the best protection against Omicron, with early data suggesting it pushes efficacy back up to 75 per cent.

Dr Jenny Harries, UKHSA Chief Executive said: “Once again, we urge everyone who is able to get a booster jab to come forward and do so. It is the best defence we have against this highly transmissible new variant."

In the UK, there are five areas where cases have seen a steep week-on-week rise, which are all in London.

Aside from Lambeth and Hackney & City of London, Wandsworth has also seen a huge jump in cases, going from 751.8 per 100,000 to 2,643.9.
