London and the Midlands have the lowest COVID-19 infection rates in England, according to estimates by Cambridge University.

While the R number - the number of people an infected person passes the disease on to - is only an average of 0.4 in London, in the North East and Yorkshire it's an average of 0.80.

Other estimates in the study show that the coronavirus has infected 18% of those aged 5 to 14 but only 3% of those over 75, a sign that shielding measures have worked.
