New cases of coronavirus have dropped by almost 30% this week as the number of areas still reporting positive test results continues to reduce.
In the seven days to February 22 there were 189 new cases reported. This is 80 fewer than had been recorded in the previous week, marking a reduction of 29.7%.
The most recent five days are not shown due to incomplete data.
Cornwall now has a rolling rate of 33.1 cases per 100,000 people, which is also lower than the 47.0 cases per 100,000 being recorded a week ago.

Only 28 out of the 72 cluster areas in Cornwall are now showing cases: St Just & Land’s End (9), West Penwith & St Buryan (3), St Ives & Halsetown (3), Marazion, St Erth & Gwinear Gwithian (3), Helston (5), Falmouth West & South (3), Falmouth North (5), Camborne South (3), Camborne East (11), Redruth North (6), St Day & Lanner (3), Truro West (3), Truro South & Central(5), Truro East (3), Perranporth & Goonhavern (5), Newquay East (3), Roche & Goss Moor (6), St Austell Central (8), Par (9), Bodmin West (6), Dobwalls, Addington & Menheniot (8), Liskeard (3), St Germans & St Mellion (3), Kingsand, Antony & Maryfield (7), Saltash Town & Pillmere (3), Saltash Latchbrook & St Stephens (3), Callington & Pensilva (5), Altarnun & Stoke Climsland (7).
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."
Just one cluster area has seen a rise in cases that has gone into double figures: Camborne East, with 11 cases over the course of a week.
Camborne as a complete town has seen 14 new cases over the seven days, across its three cluster areas – Camborne West (0), Camborne South (3, down one), Camborne East (11, up five) – making it the area with the most cases in total.
However, it is St Just & Land’s End that has seen the highest rate of rise in that period, with nine new cases – seven more than was recorded in the previous week.
This is closely followed by Par, which also has nine new cases, which is six more than a week ago.
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.
