Sunderland sees increase in weekly coronavirus case rate, according to Public Health England figures.

Paul Fazza Fairley: I’m this figure comes from both tier tests .... from which a good chunk of tier 2 is the test at home kits .... which were reported to be useless last week!!

Barry Potts: It still doesn't mean that we are anywhere near Leicester though, they were 140 per 100,000. Worth keeping an eye on though

Joanne Potts: Pubs were opened up far too soon! Nothing gradual about the way things have been done at all

Sandra Johnson: They’ve been rising last couple of weeks

Anne Hall: Because it’s a bit like all the facts and figures it depends on which paper you read which channel you watch and the political persuasion of the person announcing the figures
