Map shows Nottingham's coronavirus divide

Nottingham's overall rate of new coronavirus cases has now fallen to far below the rates recorded when the city was placed under Tier 2 and Tier 3 local lockdown restriictions.

But within the city, the situation varies in different areas. The once hotspot areas of Lenton Abbey and the Arboretum are now among the areas recording average infection rates.

An interactive Government map formed using the latest coronavirus data, shows the St Ann's West area currently has the lowest infection rate in the city, with a rolling infection rate of 86.3 per 100,000 people.

While Forest Fields, New Basford and North Sherwood are currently the worst affected.

North Sherwood has the highest rolling rate within Nottingham - currently standing at 655 infections per 100,000 people.

New Basford's rate is 420 and the rate of infections in Forest Fields currently stands at 487.9 infections per 100,000 people.

The overall latest figures for the city of Nottingham, for the seven days to November 16, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two), who the infection rate has dropped to 246.9 100,000 people.

This is a huge difference from the peak of the second wave, when the infection rate reached 1,216.3 cases per 100,000 in October.

It comes after the Government confirmed it would unveil its winter plan this week, with England to go into a a strengthened three-tiered system of local restrictions after lockdown 2 ends on December 2.
