There have been 4,111 new cases of coronavirus in Greater Lincolnshire last week, down on the previous week’s 4,889.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard over the weekend reported 525 new cases in Lincolnshire, 303 in North East Lincolnshire and 153 in North Lincolnshire.
The figure is 16% lower than last week’s cases — but still 20% higher than the previous week’s 3,452 cases.
NHS figures do not update at weekends, however, government figures show the death of one further Lincolnshire resident, bringing the total to six.
Figures nationally show a sustained fall in numbers for the past five days, however, health bosses have warned the case data is from the previous Monday.
It is hoped the vaccine numbers, along with the hot weather, have helped ease the pandemic as more people spend time outside.
Ministers later today will decide if daily COVID testing can be further expanded to include more fully-vaccinated key workers, as the scheme starts with food chain and transport staff and emergency service workers today.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has confirmed plans to jet-wash blocked gullies in Leadenham following persistent flooding, which has left residents and businesses in constant fear of property damage during heavy rainfall.
The council intends to jet the A607 outside Leadenham Post Office as an urgent measure to mitigate ongoing flood risks, with a full clean scheduled for January. The announcement comes after a plea from Leadenham Parish Councillor Martyn Everett, who highlighted significant flooding along Sleaford Road.
A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
