An interactive map, using Public Health England data, shows the number of people who have tested positive for the virus in each area of ​​the province over the seven-day period to Sunday 22 August.

Public Health England counts coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods, called ‘Super Medium Output Areas’ (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and are based on population rather than geographic area.

The interactive map, which can be found through this link, allows users to type in their zip code and see how many cases have been reported in their area and whether it has increased or decreased from the previous week. The darker the color of the image, the more positive test results were recorded.
