The latest government map of positive coronavirus cases in England shows there were nine clusters in Cornwall last week.
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 each area is 5,000 and the average is 7,200.

The most recent figures show data from September 14 to September 20 and indicate that there were 55 cases recorded in nine cluster areas.
There may have been additional positive test results in other areas that do not register on the map, as locations with only one or two cases recorded show up white in the same way as locations with zero cases.
The breakdown of the clusters is:
Crowan, Wendron & Stithians
Number of cases: 3
Pool & Illogan Highway
Number of cases: 17
Camborne East
Number of cases: 10
Camborne West
Number of cases: 7
Redruth South
Number of cases: 4
Redruth North
Number of cases: 4
St Agnes & Mount Hawke
Number of cases: 3
Bodmin East
Number of cases: 3
Lanreath, Pelynt & Polraun
Number of cases: 4
Last week the Packet reported how extra coronavirus testing had been brought in at a food factory in Pool after an outbreak there.
Public Health England (PHE) South West and Cornwall Council confirmed that there had been "a small number of confirmed cases of Covid-19" at Pilgrim’s Pride Ltd.
