Helston residents are now able to easily see how many Coronavirus cases there are in and around 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
• The rate of infection per 100,000 people in the population
• How the area compares to the rest of England

Case rate per 100,000 people for 7–day period ending on 28th October.
