Find out how many active Covid cases are in your neighbourhood with this user-friendly map.
Despite the incredible news that over 30 million people have now been vaccinated in the UK, Covid is still very much on the loose. I’m sure at some point we’ve all wondered how many people in our neighbourhood have the dreaded virus and this very handy interactive map will tell us exactly that. The map uses government data to monitor the number of covid infections all over the UK, breaking down the information by postcode. [Featured image: gov.uk]
It is updated every week and uses a very simple colour coordination system to highlight the number of active covid cases per neighbourhood. There are eight colours in total, ranging from white (less than three cases) to black (over 800 cases), with yellow, green, blue and burgundy shades in between. Essentially, the darker the colour, the more people have Covid in the area.
Most areas of Liverpool are now a mixture of dark green and light green, which indicates that there are less than 100 cases in each area across our region. Here are the areas in Liverpool which have ranked extremely well on well on the scale – classing as having ‘suppressed’ the virus with fewer than 3 cases in the areas.
