Public Health England data shows 41 neighbourhoods in the Bristol area recorded more than 10 covid-19 cases between October 10 and October 17.
That is a rise of five neighbourhoods in the space of two days and more than double what it was at the beginning of the month.
In comparison, a data set earlier in the month showed 16 neighbourhoods recorded double figures for cases between October 3 and October 9.
Bristol City Centre continues to be the area to have recorded the most positive Covid-19 test results, with 149 positive tests, followed by Stoke Bishop, which had 124.
Other areas to have seen higher infection rates include Cotham (49), Hotwells (26), Clifton East (40) and Frenchay & Great Stoke (45).

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.
