Residents living in Forest Fields have offered their thoughts on the reasons behind a sharp rise in coronavirus cases in the area.
The inner-city area currently has an infection rate of 731.9 per 100,000 people, which is nearly five times higher than the national average.
This is due to 51 new coronavirus cases in the seven days leading to December 3, an increase of nearly 90% compared to the previous seven days.
People who live in the area believe the nature of housing, with some properties housing multiple people, may contribute to why the infection rate is so high.
Shahib Nazier said: "I know a few people myself who have tested positive that live around here.
"I think here there are often a lot of people who live in just one house together. So when one person gets it, everyone gets it - and so on.
"So I think that is the main reason there are more cases here. I think it is to be expected."
Liaqat Ali has lived in Forest Fields since 1979 and says he believes not enough people are sticking to the rules put in place by the Government.
"I'm not surprised to hear this," he said.
"I'd say only around 50% of people that live here are following all of the rules. There are some people, you see them walking together, and they do not give you a lot of space. Some people, too, aren't wearing masks enough.
"If everybody followed all the rules it would be better for the area."
Areas nearby, however, have infection rates much lower to that in Forest Fields.
Neighbouring Arboretum, Forest and Trent University has a rate of just 69.1, far below the national average, while Hyson Green's rate is 163 - there have been 15 new cases there in the latest seven day period.
Mapperley Park, too, has a rate of 93.1 and New Basford of 143.7.
Sharmin Akbel, who lives in Forest Fields, told Nottinghamshire Live: "I think most people here do follow the rules, I'm not sure why the number is quite that high - it is a little worrying.
"People wear masks, they mostly keep their distance. I didn't know the number was as high as it is here."
