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

There have been over four million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and more than 118,000 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 15 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

The average number of daily cases is now falling, following strict lockdown measures introduced at the start of the year.

A further 10,625 confirmed cases across the UK were announced by the government on Tuesday.

This amounts to a 14% decline in cases when compared to last Tuesday.

The number of daily 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.

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 will remain in force until 19 February at the earliest.

In Scotland, younger children will be allowed to return to school from Monday, although other measures will continue until at least the end of February.

In Northern Ireland, restrictions have been extended to 5 March.

More than 15 million people have now received a first dose of a vaccine, which Prime Minister Boris Johnson has described as an "unprecedented national achievement".

Over 546,000 people have had a second vaccine.

The current seven-day average is about 418,000 doses a day.

In total, more than 13 million people in England have had one vaccine dose. In Scotland, almost 1.3 million people have had their first dose, while the figure is 795,000 in Wales and 409,000 in Northern Ireland.

The vaccine rollout is being expanded to include the over-65s and those deemed clinically vulnerable from this week.

And everyone in the top nine priority groups could be offered a vaccine by the end of April, the prime minister says.

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

The government announced a further 799 deaths within 28 days of a positive test on Tuesday.

Of those deaths, 733 were in England, 49 in Scotland, 8 in Wales and 9 in Northern Ireland.

Back on 5 February, the 7-day average for daily deaths was just under 1,000 a day. It is now down to just over 620 a day.

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 104,000.

There are currently just over 21,000 people with coronavirus in hospital in the UK.

Numbers in mid-January reached almost double the highest point of the spring peak, but have been falling since then.

London, the South East and the Midlands saw the highest numbers in recent weeks, but patient numbers are falling in all UK nations and regions now.

But everywhere saw more patients in hospital in the latest surge 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 is now more than 118,000.

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 more than 129,000 deaths, to 5 February.

The third measure counts all deaths over and above the usual number at the time of year - that figure was more than 116,000 by 5 February.

In total, there were 19,149 deaths registered in the week to 5 February, which is 38% higher than "normal" for the time of year.

Of that figure, 7,820 deaths were related to coronavirus - slightly down on the previous week.

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 0.9.

The estimates for the R number in the nations and regions of the UK are now all below one. In England, Scotland and Wales the estimate is 0.7 to 0.9, while in Northern Ireland it is 0.75 to 0.85.

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