Lockdown is gradually lifting in Doncaster and across England - but there are some areas where coronavirus cases are rising.

The latest figures show 13 out of 39 neighbourhoods in the borough saw an increase in infections in the latest seven-day period, in the run up to Easter.

Now with shielding coming to an end and the stay at home message dropped, we reveal which neighbourhoods saw the biggest rise in case rates per 100,000 people between 26 March and 2 April.

In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Liam Hoden, editor.
