Tells you the case rate in area of school catchment. May be useful for school staff/parents deciding what to do.

Population of 150000. 0.1%

So many of these numbers - 500-1200/100,000 are the numbers large areas of the north had continually from sept to Dec and schools stayed open throughout so not sure why all the shock now 🤷‍♀️

Blackburn had cases over 1500/100,000 for weeks and no one suggested closing schools

Some boroughs have barely made it below 500 since the beginning.. When they did it was short lived.

There’s loads of maps to check postcodes and areas. Don’t know the school postcode google or look at one of the many letters they have sent outs

There’s also maps that tell you what is allowed to be open in a particular area.

The maps in both the first link and the gov.UK link are actually quite similar - both show a rate of around 1100 per 100, 000. The Zoe app shows local rates at around double that. Either way, it is ridiculously high. We are tier 4 and will be open only to kw ans vulnerable children.
