Dorset areas where coronavirus cases are increasing and declining CASES of coronavirus are continuing to fall across Dorset, as data suggests the spread of Covid-19 is declining. 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, February 6. 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.

There are 25 areas of Dorset that have seen at least 25 new cases of coronavirus in the last seven-day period, according to government data.
24 Covid hotspots across the BCP area (but rates and cases are falling) The number of Covid cases is falling slowly across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area – but there are still more than 20 ‘hotspots’ ares. A total of 24 locations across the conurbation recorded case rates above 800 infections per 100,000 people. And 10 of these have rates above 1,000. The map colour-codes MSOAs depending on their seven-day rolling rate, with areas placed into the boundaries of 0-10, 11-50, 51-100, 101-200, 201-400, 400 to 799 and 800 plus. Places with a high MSOA rate appear on the map in purple (400 to 799) or dark purple (800 plus). The country is split up by Middle Super Output Area (MSOA), which are small areas with an average population of 7,200, and the data is updated every weekday, with the map showing the last seven days for which complete data is available.
