Warwickshire's Covid rate reaches an important milestone as Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth battle to move out of tier three before Christmas
and live on Freeview channel 276
Warwickshire's latest Covid-19 rate has now fallen under the national average - which gives us hope that the county will be moved down a tier before Christmas.
According to the latest Government figures, Warwickshire has seen a 32.2% decrease in positive Covid-19 cases from the seven days to December 2 - the same percentage fall over the previous seven days.

In the seven days before that, the rolling rate was 158.7 per 100,000 people, which was just above the national average.
The Government has put the whole county together so the figures for every district and borough are now important to all residents.
MPs and community leaders are hoping that the Government localised the restrictions further - for instance, Stratford has one of the lowest rates in the country but is in tier three.

Coventry, Solihull, North Warwickshire and Nuneaton and Bedworth rates are all still above the national average but they are falling.
However, the tier rankings are based on other measures such as rates among the over 60s and pressure on NHS services, and not just the rolling rate per 100,000 people.
Here are the figures for each district and borough in and around Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull:
