The number of cluster areas in Cornwall has seen a small rise since the weekend but still remains lower than a week ago.

And the number of cases continues to fall further, in the latest update on the government website.

Today's cluster map shows 137 cases recorded in the seven days to December 4. The most recent five days are left off due to incomplete data not reflecting the true number of cases.

This is down from 141 on Saturday and 30 fewer than a week ago.

The number of cluster areas has also dropped from 24 last Wednesday to 21 today - although this is three more than on Saturday, when only 18 were showing.

Clusters are only shown when there are at least three confirmed results, with anywhere having between zero and two cases showing white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure."

Falmouth has dropped off the map again after reappearing on Saturday, but Truro continues to have cases - although they have fallen from 15 to 12 in the last four days.

An area of Redruth has also come back, showing three cases, while Shortlanesend, Chacewater & Carnon Downs is reporting eight cases, having not shown up on the map on Saturday.

The rolling rate for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as a whole has fallen to 24.0 cases per 100,000 - down from 29.2 cases a week ago.

The map shows positive cases by 'Middle Super Output Area' - the name the government gives to the break-up of larger towns and groups of neighbouring towns and villages, with groupings covering a greater area than others.

The minimum population in each area is 5,000 and the average is 7,200.
