Here are the Derbyshire areas where Covid infections rose in the second week of May as drinkers return to pubs

Lockdown is gradually lifting in Derbyshire and across England - but there are some areas where coronavirus cases are rising.

And although case rates have predominantly fallen across the country, the so-called Indian variant is fast becoming a cause of concern for the Government with infections identified across the UK.
