The Bristol areas with recent coronavirus 'clusters'

Government data has revealed where the most recent coronavirus "clusters" have been recorded in Bristol.

Public Health England statistics show Shirehampton & Avonmouth and Bristol City Centre are the two areas to have recorded the most positive COVID-19 test results in the city between September 18 and September 24 (the latest available data).

These areas saw seven confirmed cases each over the time period.

16 more areas of Bristol have recorded more than two cases within the same time period, which is enough for them to be marked on the government's "COVID-19 cluster map".

Overall, Bristol continues to have significantly lower numbers of positive test results when compared to other parts of the country including the Manchester area, the North East and London.

Where is the data coming from?

You can see the latest national data on the government's online COVID-19 cluster map.

The COVID-19 cluster map uses data from Public Health England's "second generation surveillance system".

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.

The map is divided into sections - officially known as 'Middle Super Output Areas' - and each section is coloured a shade of blue, depending on how many positive COVID-19 test results have been recorded in that area.

The darker the blue on the image, the more positive test results recorded.
