Two areas of Bristol have some of the highest coronavirus case rates in the UK, the latest government figures have shown.
Cotham, and Pill and Easton, both recorded a rate of more than 400 positive tests per 100,000 people in the seven days prior to June 14.
Another 187 new cases were found across Bristol today, and while no new deaths within 28 days of a positive test were confirmed, four people remain in hospital with the virus.

In Cotham, 50 new cases have been recorded in a week, which represented a spike of 1,150 per cent on the previous seven days.
It now has a case rate of 557.2 per 100,000 people - a figure akin to that for Blackburn with Darwen, one of the areas of the country worst affected by the Delta variant.
Pill and Easton has also seen its number of positive tests skyrocket. A total of 30 new cases were found there in the seven days prior to June 14, in what was a 200 per cent jump in infections.
With a case rate of 477, it is also one of the hardest-hit parts of the country.
Yesterday, three more Bristol neighbourhoods were moved up to the third most severe category for coronavirus case rates.
