Coronavirus: The three neighbourhoods in the Bristol area with the lowest infection rates

The number of zones in the Bristol and surrounding area to record infection rates below 100 continues to decline, latest figures published by the government show.

The map which charts the spread of coronavirus shows that all neighbourhoods in the area recorded at least three cases from October 23 to October 30.

It shows only three areas - Congresbury & Kewstok, Weston Milton and Nailsea West - had a coronavirus case rate below 100.

The previous data set showed four areas were recording case rates below a 100 while, in comparison, 25 areas recorded a seven-day coronavirus case rate of more than 400, placing them in the highest category on the government map.

According to the latest figures, Frenchay & Great Stoke continues to be the area in the city to have the highest rate (916.3) followed by Bristol City Centre (728.3).

But below are the areas with the lowest coronavirus cases rate, together with the number of cases:

Where is the data coming from?

You can see the latest national data on the government's website.

The map displays weekly data, which are updated everyday.

The data can be viewed by local authority but also by smaller sections called 'Middle Super Output Areas'.

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