The number of areas showing Covid cases in Cornwall has risen by one on a week ago - but fallen from midweek.

It's as the weekly number of cases rises over 100 for the first time this month, to 103 in the seven days leading up to March 22. This is seven more than a week ago - a rise of 7.3% per cent.

The most recent five days are not shown due to incomplete data.

It means the rolling rate is now 18.0 cases per 100,000 people - up from 17.0 cases per 100,000 a week ago.

There are now nine case clusters on today's Government map: Helston (7, up five), Camborne South (5, up three), Redruth South (3, up one), Perranporth & Goonhavern (3, up one), Torpoint (3, up one), Altarnun & Stoke Climsland (4, up two), Launceston (18, up nine), Poundstock & Kilkhampton (4, up two), Bude & Stratton (3, up one).

Eight of them are different to last Saturday, with just Launceston remaining. Here cases have doubled to 18 - the only place recording double figures.

 

Those dropping off the map are: Crowan, Wendron & Stithians, Camborne West, Redruth North, St Austell East & Carlyon Bay, Looe & Polperro, Liskeard, Trebetherick & Whitecross.

The map only shows clusters when there are at least three confirmed results, with anywhere between zero and two cases showing white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure."

It is a fall on Wednesday's midweek figures though, which showed 11 clusters.

Cases in Mid to West Cornwall

Of these Helston, Camborne South, Torpoint, Altarnun & Stoke Climsland, Launceston, Poundstock & Kilkhampton remain, while Pool & Illogan Highway, Redruth North, Lostwithiel & Penwithick, Looe & Polperro, Trebetherick & Whitecross have dropped off.

The map shows positive cases by 'Middle Super Output Area' - the name the government gives to the break-up of larger towns and groups of neighbouring towns and villages, with groupings covering a greater area than others.

The minimum population in each area is 5,000 and the average is 7,200.
