The number of coronavirus 'clusters' in Cornwall has more than doubled week-on-week.
There are also 123 additional cases showing than on last Wednesday's government map.
The latest map, updated as of 4.01pm today, relates to the seven days leading up to October 23, last Friday. More recent dates are left off due to incomplete data not reflecting the true number of cases.
It shows a total of 49 clusters in Cornwall, compared to 23 a week ago.
They represent a total of 272 positive cases of Covid-19. Last Wednesday there were 155 cases.

West Cornwall has more of the new cluster areas, with every area showing at least three cases from Land's End, across to Helston and the Lizard Peninsula, spreading up towards north Cornwall.
It marks a rise of cases in Helston by two, the return of cases in the Lizard Peninsula and new cases in the Porthleven and Breage area.
Falmouth also has more cases, in a different part of the town - eight in Falmouth North, compared to four in Falmouth South & West a week ago - although Penryn has dropped off the map.
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."
The national cluster map
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.
