After almost seven long weeks of national lockdown, Boris Johnson is preparing to unveil a roadmap to open up the economy again.
Covid cases have plummeted across England since lockdown was imposed on 31 December, from 557.9 cases per 100,000 to 148.8 in the seven days to 11 February.
But there are still 467 neighbourhoods across the country where infection rates are higher than they were on 31 December, the day lockdown came into force – and nine of them are in and around Chesterfield.
Here are the areas where Covid cases in the seven days to 11 February were higher than in the last week of December.
