Covid-19: Corby's highest rate in England 'hugely concerning'

Covid-19: Corby's highest rate in England 'hugely concerning' A town's Covid infection rate, ranked the highest in England, is "hugely concerning", the council has said. 

Corby in Northamptonshire had the highest rate in the country in the week up to 10 February, at 383 per 100,000.

The rate is dipping but the county's director of public health Lucy Wightman said cases in the over-60s were not falling as quickly as they would like. BBC Northampton
