coronavirus hotspots in England have emerged in the south after months of northern regions battling against the highest infection rates in the country.
Kent and east London are predicted in the map, created by researchers at Imperial College London, to become the worst affected areas for the spread of the virus, writes the Mirror Online.
When the national lockdown is lifted on December 2, Swale in Kent is predicted to have the highest rate of new cases of Covid-19, followed by Boston in Lincolnshire, according to research from Imperial College London.
Medway and Gravesham, also in Kent, and East Lindsey, also in Lincolnshire, round out the top five. They are followed by two more places in Kent - Dartford and Maidstone.
