Falmouth and Penryn residents can now easily see how many Coronavirus cases there are in the area.

A government interactive map has been launched which is accessible to everyone.

The map uses official data to show the extent of Covid-19 in every area of the country within the past seven days. It is updated with new figures every day.

It shows:

• The number of cases in the past seven days (seven–day rolling rate of new cases by specimen date ending on 31st December)
• The rate of infection per 100,000 people in the population
• How the area compares to the rest of England

Level rates are suppressed where there have been fewer than 3 cases in a seven-day period. This is to protect the privacy of individuals.

This gov.uk interactive map has a high reference point of 400 cases per 100,000 – an illustration of how the virus is spreading across the country.
