The number of coronavirus cases in Westminster increased by 91 in the last 24 hours, official figures show – and one more death was recorded.

A total of 26,344 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 in Westminster when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on November 10 (Wednesday), up from 26,253 on Tuesday.

The rate of infection in Westminster now stands at 9,763 cases per 100,000 people, far lower than the England average of 14,120.

Across the UK, the number of recorded cases increased by 39,325 over the period, to 9,406,001.

There was also one more coronavirus death recorded in the latest 24-hour period in Westminster.

The dashboard shows 334 people had died in the area by November 10 (Wednesday) – up from 333 on Tuesday.

It means there have been three deaths in the past week, which is an increase on one the previous week.

They were among 16,846 deaths recorded across London.

The figures include anyone who died within 28 days of a positive test result for Covid-19, and whose usual residence was in Westminster.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.

The figures also show that more than half of people in Westminster have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.

The latest figures show 140,583 people had received both jabs by November 9 (Tuesday) – 52% of those aged 12 and over, based on the number of people on the National Immunisation Management Service database.

Across England, 80% of people aged 12 and above had received a second dose of the jab.

Unlike at local level, the national rate was calculated using mid-2020 population estimates from the Office for National Statistics.
