As the 21 June ‘unlocking’ is delayed here are 11 Derbyshire areas where Covid infections rose in the first week of June

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced an extension to England’s Covid restrictions with the remaining rules now expected to be lifted on July 19.

Although case rates have predominantly fallen across the country, there are still some areas where coronavirus cases are rising.

The latest figures show 11 neighbourhoods in north and mid-Derbyshire – Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire, Bolsover, Erewash and Amber Valley – where cases have risen in the latest seven-day period, the first week in June.
