Covid: Bristol areas where coronavirus infections rose the fastest in the past week

Cases in the city have jumped by over 60%

The Bristol neighbourhoods where Covid-19 cases have increased fastest over the past week have been revealed, after the city recorded a sudden 60% jump in cases overall.

We haven’t heard much about the virus in recent weeks, especially after the Government put an end to all legal restrictions earlier this month.

But cases are on the up again, not just in Bristol but across the entirety of the UK, which recorded a 56% rise in cases in the week leading up to March 10.

During that time, cases in Bristol soared by 60.7%.

Here are the areas where they rose the fastest, according to the latest figures from NHS England.
