Read moreStoke-on-Trent still an 'area of concern'
While it's not yet subject to the same extra measures as Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull, Stoke on Trent remains on the government's watchlist as "an area of concern".
This means local authorities there are being asked to "take additional actions to manage outbreaks and reduce community spread of the virus to more normal levels".
The Department of Health suggests this might include additional testing, extra efforts to spell out the importance of social distancing and hand hygiene and more work to identify exactly where the outbreaks are occurring.
According to the latest statistics, Stoke-on-Trent has 26.9 cases per 100,000 people, putting the local authority 88th on the list of 317 in England.
