The number of areas showing new cases of Covid has fallen in the past week although the amount of positive test results has grown slightly. 

It's as 105 new cases were recorded in the seven days to March 26 - 11 more than the previous week, representing an 11.7% rise. 

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

However, this is only two more cases than were recorded in the weekend update, on Saturday, when 103 cases had been recorded in the seven days leading up to March 22

The rolling rate of new cases is 18.4 cases per 100,000 people - up from the 16.4 cases per 100,000 people which was showing last Wednesday. 

There are now nine cluster areas: Camborne South (5, up one), Pool & Illogan Highway (3, no change), Redruth South (5, up three), Perranporth & Goonhavern (3, up one), Lostwithiel & Penwithick (6, up three), St Germans & St Mellion (3, up one), Saltash Latchbrook & St Stephens (3, up one), Launceston (17, up seven), Bude & Stratton (3, up one).

This is down from the 11 clusters showing a week ago. 

Four of the clusters on today's map - Camborne South, Pool & Illogan Highway, Lostwithiel & Penwithick, and Launceston - remain a week later.

No longer showing on the map are: Helston, Redruth North, Looe & Polperro, Trebetherick & Whitecross, Torpoint, Altarnun & Stoke Climsland, and Poundstock & Kilkhampton. 

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."

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.
