A further drop in new cases means there are now only 18 out of 72 clusters still showing a rise in positive Covid-19 test results.
In the seven days leading up to February 26 there were 123 new cases recorded – not far off half the number of the previous week, at 104 fewer (45.8%).
The rolling rate has also decreased to 21.5 cases per 100,000 people, from 39.7 cases per 100,000 people last Wednesday.
This itself was a fall from the 61.7 cases the week before, while at its height there were 313.0 cases per 100,000 people back in the middle of January.

The 18 areas still showing new weekly cases of Covid-19: St Just & Land’s End (4), West Penwith & St Buryan (4), Marazion, St Erth & Gwinear Gwithian (6), Helston (7), Camborne South (5), Camborne East (5), St Day & Lanner (3), Perranporth & Goonhavern (3), St Columb Major & St Mawgan (3), St Austell North & Carclaze (3), St Austell Central (6), Par (5), Dobwalls, Addington & Menheniot (5), Liskeard (3), Kingsand, Antony & Maryfield (7), Mid Saltash (3), Callington & Pensilva (6), Altarnun & Stoke Climsland (4).
This is a reduction on the 28 areas showing on Saturday's map, and 37 clusters a week ago.
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."
There are no longer any clusters that have seen a double-figure rise in new cases over the weekly period.
There are eight clusters with rises this week: West Penwith & St Buryan (4, up two), Marazion, St Erth & Gwinear Gwithian (6, up three), Camborne South (5, up three), Helston (7, up two), St Austell Central (6, up two), Mid Saltash (3, up one), Liskeard (3, up one), Callington & Pensilva (6, up four).
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.
