Weekly case rates by area (30 June vs 23 June comparison)

• The chart shows weekly case rates by area as

of 02 July 2021 compared to weekly case rates

by area as on 25 June.

• The vertical axis plots the most recent weekly

case rate per 100k people (up to the 02 July),

and the horizontal axis plots the equivalent case

rate from the week before. The higher the

bubble, the worse the current case rate picture.

• The size of each bubble is proportional to the

most recent case rate per 100k people in those

aged over 60 years.

• The colour of each bubble indicates which

region the area is in.
