Nearly 70 areas of Dorset with active coronavirus cases

An interactive map, which uses Public Health England data, shows how many people have tested positive for the virus in each area of the county over the seven-day period up to Sunday, June 20. 

Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.

The interactive map, which can be found through this link, allows users to type in their postcode and see how many cases were reported in their area and if it has increased or decreased from the week before. The darker the colour on the image, the more positive test results have been recorded.

The latest active cases in Dorset according to Public Health England.

The map highlights which areas of the county have three or more confirmed cases of the virus and colour co-coordinates the areas by how many cases they have.

In the seven days up to Sunday, June 20, Dorset reported 682 cases. 

Some areas in Dorset have reported fewer than three cases, meaning they appear as 'suppressed' and colour coded as white on the map. 

But most areas of Dorset have reported more than three cases during this time period. This suggests that coronavirus may be spreading again in some areas of Dorset, as the Delta variant was recently confirmed as the new dominant variant in the UK.
