Amazed at how white the map is in my area

[bathsh3ba]

I knew my ward had been 'less than 3 cases' for some time but I was really surprised and encouraged to look at the map on the government data page today and see just how many areas around me, including cities and city centres, are also white and lower than 3 cases. Even the green areas seem to be only 4 or 5 cases - one blue area part of a big city has 20. I didn't realise numbers were so low around here. Worth a look if you haven't in a while.

I looked recently and my entire county is white. Pleased to see it!

My county and Local Authority have been yellow for the last couple of days.

White is "no data" as the map appears to me.

I'm in London and it's very fragmented with some areas green/teal/blue on that map but surrounded by white areas. Specific clusters of cases around families?

My wider area is piss yellow now
In more localised areas it's been white for ages with a few green or occasionally teal for months. You're talking less than a handful of cases amongst 10s of thousands of people.

For the vast majority of the country, cases really are very, very low and that's despite the much higher rate of testing than last summer.

My area is dark green with a rolling rate of 80 🙈 we NEVER escape from above average cases. Not since we started all this.. I can’t say i much care, perhaps I’m part of the problem! I follow most rules but I’m out enjoying life for all it’s worth & allowed!

Maybe this is the stroke of the Yorkshire variant!

We are white but about 12 miles from Bedford which is maroon

Mine is really low - 6
But we are surrounded by darker green areas

My ward is white, as are all the wards in my nearby 'city centre' which had the Indian variant two weeks ago in schools, only 9 cases week up to 17th in the district - really quite positive.

Thank you OP and to the person who showed the link. It does show how concentrated the cases are, and families may be a cause, or those returning from India before the red list designation.

Mine too but as we’re an hour from Bolton we seem to be getting treated as if our cases are really high... just like when we had the tier system 🙄.

Considering my area was a ‘hotspot’ around Christmas (my local hospital made the news), I am quite happy to see all the white in my local area.

Still dark green for us. 4 cases in my ward - that could even just be one household - but 36 a few miles away, and we’re only an hour from Bolton. We were part of the Greater Manchester and W Yorks lockdown at the start of August, then Tier 3 when tiers were a thing. High school children are still wearing marks. I feel like I’m living in 1984 sometimes (lighthearted. Kind of).

@eurochick - that means there are less than 3 cases. If its 0, 1 or 2 they don't release the data to avoid identifying the person. So white with no data means 0-2.

Mine's blue but I'm in the area with the big school outbreak that made the news. It's been dropping since then.

Before anyone outside of England gets too excited about their area being white when zoomed in, note the bit at the top that reads:

"When zoomed to very small areas, data for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are not available."
