Covid-19 in the UK: How many coronavirus cases are there in your area?

There have been more than 3.8 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and over 100,000 people have died, government figures show.

However, these figures include only people who have died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus.

More than nine million people have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

The number of cases reached record levels in early January, partly driven by a new variant of the virus thought to be much more easily transmissible than other strains.

However daily reported cases, on average, now appear to be declining - with strict lockdown measures in place across the country.

A further 18,607 confirmed cases across the UK were announced by the government on Monday.

Some 80,000 people in eight areas in England are to be offered urgent tests for the South African variant of Covid-19 after cases with no links to travel were found.

It is thought the infection rate was much higher than was evident from the reported number of cases during the first peak in spring last year. Testing capacity was too limited to detect the true number of daily cases.

The darker orange and red areas on the map below show the areas currently seeing the highest number of cases per 100,000 people.

During the current lockdown people have been told to stay at home, other than for limited purposes such as essential food shopping, medical appointments and work. Schools are also closed.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the government will set out a "roadmap" for easing restrictions in England on 22 February.

In Wales, lockdown measures, including the closure of licensed premises and non-essential shops, will remain in force until 19 February at the earliest.

In Scotland they have been extended until at least the middle of February and in Northern Ireland they have been extended to 5 March.

More than nine million people in the UK have now received a first dose of a vaccine, government figures show, and more than 490,000 people have had a second.

A total of 931,204 first doses were given over the weekend, which represents around one in 60 adults in the UK.

Heath Secretary Matt Hancock says almost nine in 10 of all over 80s have now received a first dose, and over half of all people in their 70s.

About 380,000 doses need to be given each day if the government is to reach its target of offering vaccines to the 15 million most vulnerable people by the middle of February.

The current seven-day average is almost 390,000.

In total, eight million people in England have had one vaccine dose. In Scotland, some 575,000 people have had their first dose, while the figure is 416,000 in Wales and 221,000 in Northern Ireland.

After the first four priority groups receive their jabs, the programme will move onto people aged 50 and over and those with underlying health conditions.

By autumn, the rest of the adult population, another 21 million people, will be offered a vaccine.

However a study has suggested that black people over 80 are only half as likely to have received as vaccine as their white peers - despite being more than four times at risk of death from Covid-19.

The government announced a further 406 deaths within 28 days of a positive test on Monday. The number of deaths is often lower on Mondays due to a lag in reporting over the weekend.

Of these deaths, 368 were in England, 6 were in Scotland, 21 were in Wales and 11 were in Northern Ireland.

Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty has said the number of deaths will come down "relatively slowly" over the next two weeks.

Rules were amended last summer to include deaths in the coronavirus total only if they occurred within 28 days of a positive test. Previously in England, all deaths after a positive test were included.

England has seen the majority of UK deaths from Covid-19. Using the 28-day cut-off, there have been more than 90,000.

There are currently just under 35,000 people with coronavirus in hospital in the UK.

Numbers in January reached almost double the highest point of the spring peak, but now appear to be falling.

London, the South East and the Midlands have seen the highest numbers in recent weeks.

But all nations and regions have now seen more patients in hospital than during the first wave last spring.

When looking at the overall death toll from coronavirus, official figures count deaths in three different ways, each giving a slightly different number.

First, government figures count people who died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus - and that total has now passed 100,000.

Second, ONS figures include all deaths where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate, even if the person had not been tested for the virus. This figure is nearly 104,000 deaths, to 15 January.

The third measure counts all deaths over and above the usual number at the time of year - that figure was more than 99,000 by 15 January.

In total there were 20,019 deaths registered in the week to 15 January, that's about 28% above the "normal" level for the time of year.

Of that figure, 7,776 were deaths related to coronavirus - the third highest total of the pandemic.

There have now been more deaths involving Covid than 'excess' deaths, which means non-Covid deaths must be below usual levels.

This could be because of a milder flu season - resulting from less travel and more social distancing - and because some people who might have died for other reasons had there been no pandemic, died of Covid.

The "R number" is the average number of people an infected person will pass the disease on to.

If R is below one, then the number of people contracting the disease will fall; if it is above one, the number will grow.

The government's current estimate for the R number across the whole of the UK is 0.7 to 1.1.

The estimate for England is 0.7 to 1.0, Scotland is 0.7 to 1.0, Wales is 0.7 to 0.9 and in Northern Ireland it is 0.65 to 0.8.

The government has said in the past that the R number is one of the most important factors in making policy decisions.
