THESE are the neighbourhoods in the region which have reported a rise in the number of new Covid cases in the past week.

A total of 78 postcode areas in the North-East and North Yorkshire have seen cases up, compared to the week previous.

Latest Public Health England data shows the picture in the seven days to April 28, compared to the seven days to April 21.

Echo analysis of the latest data found that the majority of areas which have seen a rise in cases have only seen slight increases - between one and three new cases.

However, some areas in County Durham and Sunderland have seen large increases - with one area seeing a rise by eight cases in the past week.

It comes as even more data has become available following the easing of lockdown restrictions on April 12, when non-essential retail and outdoor hospitality reopened.

But although case rates are rising in parts, something which the Prime Minister Boris Johnson previously anticipated, the Government is pushing ahead with its roadmap.

This is mainly driven by the "progress" the vaccination programme is making, recently being opened up to those over the age of 40, and control over the pandemic. 

Earlier this week, Mr Johnson said there would be a "good chance" that social distancing measures would be scrapped next month.

He made the comments while the Heath Secretary Matt Hancock expressed certainty over a "great British summer" as he said 50m Covid jabs had now been given.
