You asked
I would like to receive statistics showing the number of coronavirus cases recorded at care homes in the Canterbury district (i.e. Canterbury, Herne Bay and Whitstable) between February and the most recently recorded date please.
Specifically, I would like to receive:
The number of coronavirus cases recorded between February 1 and the most recently recorded date at every care home across Herne Bay, Whitstable and Canterbury. I would like these broken down by care home or, if this isn't possible, by town/city please.
A breakdown of the number of care home workers and residents understood to have contracted coronavirus over the same period. I would like the figures to be broken down by home (or, if this isn't possible, by town/city) and by cases among residents and staff please.

Thank you for your request.
Data from the COVID-19 infection survey refers to infections within the community population; community in this instance refers to private residential households and it excludes those in hospitals, care homes and/or other institutional settings. Therefore, the information referred to in your FOI relating to infections is not held by us.
Your request may be better placed with the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) or Public Health England. They can be contacted via the following link, DHSC FOI Contact Form, and email address, wn_coronavirus@phe.gov.uk, respectively.
