6th Jul 2020 | Local News
New charts released by the government show the rise and fall of daily coronavirus cases across Lincolnshire's district councils.
The COVID-19 dashboard now includes breakdowns of how the virus has progressed, broken down up to local authority level.
It comes as government hopes to identify new outbreaks and lock them down locally rather than nationally, as was the case in Leicester.
The information does not show Lincolnshire as a whole, however, South Kesteven reported a peak of 16 cases on May 21.
Two further peaks, of 13 cases, were reported in South Kesteven on April 28 and May 7.
Now, the district has a total of 395 cases.
The area with the highest number of cases is South Holland with 698.
The district's chart in this instance shows a gradual peak and downward trend, however, it peaked with 51 cases on May 7, with other days hitting 43 and 33 new cases. The highest seven-day average peaked to 24.7 on May 9.
Here are the other district authorities' highest peaks (and when they hit them):
Boston, 13 (April 12 & 29, May 5, 20 & 21)
East Lindsey, 9 (April 1, 12 & 26)South Kesteven, 16 (May 21)
North Kesteven, 10 (May 12)West Lindsey, 9 (April 29)
The dashboard, however, only breaks down the number of cases into local authorities, but does not yet show the number of deaths or testing in the area.
Meanwhile, Lincolnshire has had four consecutive days without any new COVID-19 related hospital deaths on Monday.
NHS statistics updated this afternoon show there have been no further deaths reported at any of United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust facilities.
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals Trust has also not seen any new coronavirus-related deaths reported.
The figures are currently:
141 at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (no change)
3 at Lincolnshire Community Health Service hospitals (no change)1 at Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust (no change)
118 in Northern Lincolnshire (NLAG) (no change) The last time ULHT figures were not updated with any new deaths for longer than 4 days was between June 9 and June 22, however, a death on June 8 had been revised from a previous date and the trust had actually not had any further deaths since the beginning of June. Nationally, a further 15 people who tested positive for the coronavirus have died in hospitals in England, bringing the total to 28,904. The number of confirmed cases in Lincolnshire is 2,420 today. This is equivalent to 320.2 cases per 100,000 of population. No new cases were reported today across the county. This compares with an England average of 439.1 cases per 100,000, based on a total of 245,814 cases. Broken down further, South Kesteven is on 395 cases (278.5 cases per 100,000). South Holland is on 698 (742.7 per 100,000). Rutland is on 90 (226.7), Melton is on 149 (291.6) and Peterborough 1,265 (629.2 per 100,000). Additional Reporting by Nub News
