More than half the local areas have seen a rise in their coronavirus infection rates over the past week.
The week after lockdown was exchanged for a more relaxed tier system in England, rates of infection are continuing to rise.
Of the 315 local areas in England, 166 have seen a rise in case rates, 146 have seen a fall, and three are unchanged.
In terms of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people, the areas with the biggest week-on-week jumps are Hastings (up from 68.0 to 254.7, with 236 new cases); Broxbourne (up from 176.8 to 293.0, with 285 new cases); and Waltham Forest in London (up from 214.5 to 327.1, with 906 new cases).
A lot of the areas that are experiencing the biggest increases in cases are in London, Kent and Essex.
At his press conference this evening Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that spikes among school pupils were responsible for the rises.
He told the Downing Street briefing: “I’m particularly concerned about the number of cases in London, Kent and Essex.
“Cases are rising and in many areas are already high.
“Looking into the detail, the testing results and survey shows us that by far the fastest rise is among secondary school age children 11-18 years old, while the rate among adults in London is broadly flat.
“But we know from experience that a sharp rise in case in younger people can lead to a rise among more vulnerable age groups later.
“We need to do everything we can to stop the spread among school age children in London right now – we must not wait until the review, which will take place on December 16.
“We need to take targeted action immediately.”
Mr Hancock said all secondary school age children in the seven worst affected areas of London and parts of Kent and Essex would have the chance to be tested over the coming days.
He went on to urge all 11-18-year-olds to get swabbed in those areas, even if they do not have symptoms.
Although it was not made clear which parts of Kent and Essex will be the subject of bolstered testing for young people, it will likely focus on those worst affected by the virus.
Swale in Kent continues to have the highest rate in England, with 938 new cases recorded in the seven days to December 6 – the equivalent of 625.0 cases per 100,000 people.
This is up from 578.4 in the seven days to November 29.
Medway, also in Kent, has the second highest rate, up from 560.4 to 604.5, with 1,684 new cases.
Basildon in Essex is in third place, where the rate has risen from 313.0 to 476.0, with 891 new cases.
Here is the list of areas in full, compiled with Public Health England data.
