Eight Covid clusters are showing on today's Government map for Cornwall – and they're all different to the areas showing last week. 

It's as the number of new cases of Covid-19 in the Duchy rises by 42.6% week-on-week, with 97 in the seven days leading up to March 15 - 29 more than were showing a week ago. 

The most recent five days are not shown due to incomplete data.

It means the rolling rate is now 17.0 cases per 100,000 people, compared to 11.9 cases per 100,000 a week ago. 

The most recent map sees a rise of two cases on a week ago, when clusters dropped to just six areas. 

The eight clusters on today's Government dashboard map are: Crowan, Wendron & Stithians (3), Camborne West (7), Redruth North (3), St Austell East & Carlyon Bay (3), Looe & Polperro (5), Liskeard (3), Trebetherick & Whitecross (3), Launceston (9).

The map only shows clusters when there are at least three confirmed results, with anywhere between zero and two cases showing white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure."

All the areas showing have seen rises on the previous week, bringing them back on the map: Crowan, Wendron & Stithians (up one), Camborne West (up five), Redruth North (up one), St Austell East & Carlyon Bay (up one), Looe & Polperro (up three), Liskeard (up one), Trebetherick & Whitecross (up one), Launceston (up seven). 

In addition, every single cluster on today's map is different to the clusters showing last Saturday (St Just & Land's End, Helston, Camborne South, Camborne East, Redruth South, Bodmin West).

Five of the eight are also different to the clusters on Wednesday's map, with St Just & Land’s End, Helston, Redruth South, St Austell East & Carlyon Bay, and Dobwalls, Addington & Menheniot dropping off, and only Crowan, Wendron & Stithians, Camborne West and Launceston remaining of those eight clusters. 

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.
