Alarming data shows Manchester now has the highest coronavirus infection rate in England - after new cases more than doubled in a week.

The city recorded 2,740 new cases in the seven days to Thursday, the most recent data available. Public Health England said this equates to 495.6 cases per 100,000 people - up from 223.2 in the previous week.

The huge jump in cases comes despite lockdown restrictions being put in place at the start of August - raising questions about the effectiveness of local lockdowns.

Liverpool also saw a massive rise in cases, rising to 456.4, with 2,273 new cases. Knowsley is in third place, up from 300.3 to 452.1, with 682 new cases.
