The UK now has the highest coronavirus case rate - 82.7 cases per 100,000 people - in Europe.

One month ago the picture looked rather different. Other European countries were reporting many more cases per day than the UK.

But with the spread of the Delta variant, UK case numbers are rising again and as we all know, the government has delayed the lifting of restrictions by a further four weeks.

Portugal is also seeing a rise in cases, but in many of our neighbouring countries cases continue to fall.

France's daily figures were recently revised, but its case rate is still below the UK's and trending downward.

It's hard to rank countries precisely because they count cases differently and so some countries might look slightly higher or lower if they used the UK's counting.
