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

There have been more than 4.6 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and nearly 128,000 people have died, government figures show.

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

Just over 43 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

After a substantial decline since the start of the year, the average number of daily confirmed cases is now rising.

A further 10,633 confirmed cases in the UK were announced by the government on Monday.

With the rise in cases being driven by the more transmissible Delta variant, the government has decided the remaining coronavirus rules will remain in place for now.

The original 'roadmap' had set 21 June as the date by which all legal restrictions on social contact would end.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said delaying to 19 July would give the NHS time to carry out more vaccinations, and it would be sensible to wait "just a little longer".

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

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

All nations in the UK have been easing restrictions on everyday life in recent months. You can use our postcode look-up to check what the rules are where you live.

The so-called Indian variant, named the Delta variant by the World Health Organization, is now the main type of coronavirus in the UK.

Delta spreads faster than the Kent variant (now named the Alpha variant), which had previously been the most common.

However, vaccines still appear to be working well, even with Delta in circulation.

A single dose reduces a person's chance of catching coronavirus and needing hospital treatment by about 75%, according to the latest PHE data, while two doses reduces the risk of hospitalisation by over 90%.

More than 43 million people - more than 80% of all UK adults - have now received a first dose of a vaccine and 31 million people, or about 60% of all adults, have had a second.

In total, over 36 million people in England have had one vaccine dose.

In Scotland, 3.6 million people have had their first shot, while the figure is 2.2 million in Wales and 1.1 million in Northern Ireland.

While more people received second doses from April to June, the number of first doses has risen again in recent weeks as vaccines are rolled out to younger age groups.

Everyone over the age of 18 in England can now book a vaccination.

Over-18s in Northern Ireland and Wales are also eligible, while Scotland is offering first doses to everyone over 30.

A further five deaths within 28 days of a positive test were reported on Monday, all in England.

There were no deaths reported in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland for a second day running.

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 112,500.

The most recent government figures show 1,316 people with coronavirus in hospital in the UK.

Although that number is now rising, it is far below the peak of nearly 40,000 people back in January.

London, the South East and the Midlands saw the highest numbers in the winter peak.

Patient numbers have fallen in all UK nations and regions in recent months, although they are rising again in some areas, as the chart below shows.

Patient groups and hospital staff have warned that lives are being put at risk by the huge backlog of treatment left by the pandemic.

In-depth analysis by BBC News found nearly a third of hospitals have seen long waits increase, major disruption to cancer services and a fall in GP referrals and screening services.

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 nearly 128,000.

According to the latest ONS figures, the UK has now seen more than 152,000 deaths - that's all those deaths where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate even if the person had not been tested for the virus.

The third measure counts all deaths over and above the usual number at the time of year - that figure was 115,449 by 4 June.

In total, there were 9,111 deaths registered in the week to 4 June, which was 4% below the five-year average, although registry offices were closed for the late May bank holiday so reports of some deaths might have been delayed.

Of the total deaths, 108 were related to coronavirus, two more than the previous week. It's the third lowest total since the pandemic began.

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

However, it is harder to estimate the R number when cases are at a low level and therefore the government is not currently producing a figure for the UK as a whole.

The latest estimate for England is 1.2 to 1.4, while for Northern Ireland it is 0.9 to 1.2, for Scotland it is 1.2 to 1.4 and for Wales it is 0.8 to 1.0.
