Many areas with surging coronavirus rates were today spared tougher lockdown restrictions by Boris Johnson. Most of England will still currently be bound only by national measures such as the 'rule of six' and the 10pm pub curfew.
But latest figures show coronavirus cases are growing across the country still. And analysis by Mirror Online has found 35 places currently deemed only to be 'medium' risk under the new three-tier alert system had rates of more than 100 cases per 100,000 cases for the seven days up to October 9.
Exeter in Devon has the highest rate of any area in Tier 1 at 345.5 - higher than the likes of Bolton, Bradford, Leicester and Birmingham.
