Helston residents are now able to easily see how many Coronavirus cases there is in and around the area.

A new 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
• The rate of infection per 100,000 people in the population
• How the area compares to the rest of England

Coronavirus in Helston

Helston: 5

Crowan, Wendron & Stithians: 4

Data for Porthleven and Lizard is 'suppressed' and subsequently not available.

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 new 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.
