MAPS comparing the current situation with that in October show how fast coronavirus has spread in the borough over the autumn and winter months.
The Government graphic shows how infection ratesof infection have risen dramatically especially over the last four weeks.
On the map, lighter, green colours show low infection rates - the number of positive cases per 100,000 people - while darker blues show higher rates, with purple being the highest rates of infection.
Greens show a rate of below 99 infections per 100,000 people, light blue is 100-199, dark blue 200--399 the lighter purple shows a rate of 400 and higher and the darkest purple shows a rate of 800 and higher.
Confirmed cases of Covid-19 are thought to only reflect between an eighth and a quarter of actual cases - as many people with the virus are asymptomatic or don't get tested - meaning the actual figures could be much higher.
