The 43% doesn't sound good, but it's where the rolling average went from 5 per day to 8 per day. The increase in cases is with big numbers so it's more meaningful and is a clear rise. Blackburn with Darwen has now overtaken Bolton as the worst hot spot. Bolton has gone from about 450 cases per 100k to around 330. Blackburn is officially on 364.7 and will go up for a few more days, but there is a slight hint it may be beginning to fall. Bedford, on 190 is in third place, so some way lower, and is declining. Outside Bolton and Bedford it so far seems to be some cases in the Greater Manchester conurbations and small rises in one or two other places. Much of the UK is still seeing declines in cases.
