Covid clusters
The government uses a heatmap to show the density of cases in council districts and neighbourhoods, called MSOAs.
It shows there are eight areas in and around Bristol with case rates above 400 per 100,000 people.
To put this into context, the current rate for the UK is 359.5 per 100,000.
The Bristol areas with infection rates over 400 are:
Nailsea East (595.1)
Backwell and Flax Bourton (478)
Henleaze (455)
Nailsea West (448.8)
- Headley Park (418.4)
Westbury Park (414.9)
- Hartcliffe (411.9)
- Westbury-on-Trym (405.2)
Bristol city centre, Clifton East and Barton Hill recorded some of the lowest rates across the South West - and indeed the country.
But vaccinations in Bristol continue to lag behind the rest of the UK, with just 69.8 per cent of people double-jabbed compared to the national average of 82.5 per cent.
Across the UK, another 30,301 cases were confirmed, but the daily Covid death rate dropped by 16.9 per cent over the seven days prior to September 27.
