A COVID 'hotspot' area in Bracknell Forest has been revealed, with nine confirmed cases.
According to an interactive map, which uses data from Public Health England, nine confirmed cases of Covid-19 are all linked to the same area of the county - Ascot and North Ascot East.
The map splits the country up by Middle Super Output Area (MSOA), which are small areas with an average population of 7,200. The data is updated every weekday, and the map shows the latest seven days for which complete data is available.
At the time of writing, the data included lab-confirmed positive cases of coronavirus (Covid-19) reported by August 24 with specimen dates between August 15 and August 21.
The only shaded area in Bracknell Forest was the Ascot and North Ascot East MSOA, with nine confirmed cases in that timeframe.
