and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Warwick district has seen a sharp rise in recent Covid cases.
But it must be remembered that the district has previously had much lower levels than the rest of the country, so any percentage rises will be recorded as 'rapid'.

The latest figures cover the seven days up to June 16.
Over that time period, the district as a whole has been 111 cases - a 246.9 per cent rise (79 new cases) compared to the previous seven days.
Having previously enjoying the lowest Covid levels in Coventry and Warwickshire, the Warwick district now has the second highest - Nuneaton and Bedworth is the highest.
Public Health England figures show 49 cases of the Delta variant had been recorded in the Warwick district by June 16 - 21 more than the 28 cases recorded the week before.
