The number of new cases of Covid-19 continues to fall in Cornwall, with almost a third fewer than a week ago.
Latest figures from the Government dashboard show a total of 711 cases in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly in the seven days leading up to February 1.
The most recent five days are not shown due to incomplete data.
This marks a 30.3 per cent drop on figures reported last Saturday, with 309 fewer cases than a week ago.
Cornwall now has a rolling rate of 124.3 cases per 100,000 people, compared to 178.0 cases per 100,000 last week.

There are now eight areas of Cornwall no longer show cases of new cases of Covid-19: St Just & Land’s End, Towednack, Lelant & Carbis Bay, St Germans & St Mellion, Kingsand, Antony & Maryfield, Torpoint, Gunnislake & Calstock, Poundstock & Kilkhampton, Bude & Stratton.
The map only shows clusters when there are at least three confirmed results, with anywhere with between zero and two cases shows white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure."
Numbers continue to drop across the Duchy, with only five clusters now showing more than 20 cases: Truro West (23), Lostwithiel & Penwithick (40), Bodmin West (23), Bodmin East (29) and Altarnun & Stoke Climsland (22).
Lostwithiel & Penwithick remains the highest single cluster with 40 cases over the seven days – although this is a fall of 12 week-on-week and six fewer than Wednesday's midweek update.
As in the midweek update, Bodmin continues to have the overall highest number of cases for a town, with a combined 52 cases across the two cluster areas, Bodmin West (23) and Bodmin East (29), but this still represents a drop of 17 in the last three days.
Helston (21 cases, down one) and The Lizard (11 cases, up one) remain similar to a week ago, but numbers have fallen further in Falmouth, which now has a combined 15 cases across its three clusters, a drop of 13 on last Saturday: Falmouth West & South (7, down two), Falmouth East (3, down four) and Falmouth North (5, down seven).
Penryn has seen one of the biggest drops, from 22 cases a week ago to just three showing today.
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.
