Rates of infection
The table below, covering the period from December 2020 to March 2022, shows total numbers of coronavirus tests, how many gave positive results and the rate of infection across Thurrock. The rate is a 7-day average of 'positive tests per 100,000 people'.
The final column shows where Thurrock's infection rate ranks in comparison with other 'upper tier' local authorities in England – that is, county councils, unitary councils, metropolitan boroughs and London boroughs, but not districts within counties. The highest rates is ranked 1, the lowest is ranked 149.
From the 7-day period ending 20 January 2022, case numbers also include reinfections. Before this period, case numbers only included first-time infections.
