There has been a further small rise in Cornwall's coronavirus 'clusters' week-on-week but the number of affected areas is down.
The midweek update on the government's map, which indicates case numbers split into areas, now shows 45 clusters compared to 49 last Wednesday.
However, the number of overall cases has risen very slightly, from 272 cases to 276 cases. Two weeks ago there were 155 cases.
The update, as of 4pm today (November 4) represents new cases by specimen date in the seven days leading up to October 30.
More recent dates are left off due to incomplete data not reflecting the true number of cases.

The figures show that cases in Helston have halved to three, and also reduced in Falmouth, but they have risen sharply in Marazion, St Erth & Gwinear Gwithian, from five last week to 15 on today's map.
Other clusters, such as Porthleven, Breage & Praa Sands, and two areas in Penzance, have dropped off the map completely.
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.
