As the June 21 ‘unlocking’ is set to be delayed, here are the West Lindsey areas where Covid infections rose in the first week of June

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce a delay to the easing of lockdown restrictions in England tonight (Monday).

It is expected coronavirus restrictions will stay in place for another four weeks after the initial June 21 ‘unlocking’ date.

Although case rates have predominantly fallen across the country, there are still some areas where coronavirus cases are rising.

The latest figures show 3 out of the 11 West Lindsey neighbourhoods saw an increase in infections in the latest seven-day period, the first week of June.

However, Gainsborough West saw a 25 per cent decrease in cases.

Overall, seven of the West Lindsey neighbourhoods have fewer than three cases.

So, as the country looks set to stay with some restrictions for another month, we reveal which West Lindsey neighbourhoods saw the biggest rise in case rates per 100,000 people between June 1 and June 8.
