See below for the full list

Data for the most recent three days (August 22-24) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Following warnings about a surge in cases in Oxford, particularly among 18-30-year-olds, this latest data shows the trend continuing

As of August 14, the seven-day rate in the city was 18.4 per 100,000 people but this has now gone up 26.2.
