Covid cases across the seven North East local authority areas dropped by between 28.1% to 40.6%, according to the latest Government figures.
It covers the seven day period ending April 9 and details the case rate per 100,000 people and also compares it to the previous seven day period, although the number of tests available have also fallen.
While it is good news overall, there are still two noticeable hotspots in the region - in Northumberland and Sunderland - which have the highest rates.
