Coronavirus case rates in Norfolk have dropped by more than a quarter, new statistics show.
Covid-19 case rates dropped from 18.4 cases per 100,000 people, in the seven days up to Friday, May 7, to 13.3 cases per 100,000 in the week up to Friday, May 14.
That was a 27.5pc drop. Norfolk is below the East of England average of 17.8 cases per 100,000 and the England average of 21 cases per 100,000.
The Norfolk Public Health figures show case rates down in six of seven Norfolk districts, with only Broadland recording an increase. With rates low, only a few cases can trigger a large percentage rise.

I don t like shopping online, and I need to get some work clothes, said Tanya.
Not being able to come to Norwich hasn t made a massive difference to them. We only come over every few months anyway. We re mainly here for Primark and this is the nearest one. It s just nice to see people, she added.
Nathan Arbon, 27, from Bury, said Norwich city centre seemed quite quiet on the first Saturday after shops reopened.
