There's been less than 200 confirmed cases of CV in my district borough since March...

And all the districts and boroughs surrounding mine! I'm totally shocked. I thought they'd be thousands.

How do you find out case numbers as specific as that?

Remember that at the height of the pandemic people were not tested unless they were admitted to hospital (and I think even those admitted to hospital were not always tested). Without a test a person won't show up as a confirmed case. So the actual numbers of people who have had Covid-19 in your area will almost certainly be much higher than the figures suggest.

The detail is in the Dashboard - this is Blackpool, for example. You can change the area at the top.

coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/cases?areaType=ltla&areaName=Blackpool

Ah doesnt work for me as the most i can filter it down to is Scotland

21 cases in Scotland in last 24 hours

Unfortunately can't say the same for my area, starting to think we'll be locked down forever.

Our area says 0 every day for last week but there was 2 in school this week

It's showing fewer for our area than have been recorded as needing hospitalisation - think their data must be massively lacking

Oh @TorysSuckRevokeArticle50, you’re going in the right direction though. We have had several spikes around factories in a very urban part of the borough, and the LA have put local lockdowns in place. A few miles away, but still the same borough.

On the nations page of the dashboard it includes all pillars but on the LA page it doesn't specify (as far as I can see) is it pillar 1 and 2?

Yes.

Thanks - I just went on to the MSOA map which had a data source box so was going to come back on and answer my own question!

Mine is 300. Is that since March?

@DobbyTheHouseElk

Mine is 300. Is that since March?

There is a total at the top, see here it is 443; that is cumulative.

The graph below shows per specimen day, and you can look at the data behind it by clicking on "data". Note the last few days will likely be incomplete.

It is sadly not just a question of counting.

Is there a way of finding out how many people have been tested each day in each area?

The number of confirmed cases will be very different to actual cases. Even now, when there’s significant testing capacity, about one in three infections are captured... Back in March and for most of April, most weren’t - you had to be hospitalised to get tested!

Even more specific.

15 in my local authority over the last month

340 in mine

Mine shows 278 and 0 in last week

over 1,500 in my town nearly the same again in the next closest. And those are the people who got a test.

5 deaths in my postcode.

1,500 for my area. But you need to also factor population in. My LA area is 280,000.

Snap! Maybe we're neighbours

@HandsOffMyRights ooh possibly, are you in the ne?
