Public Health England figures for the week leading up to April 22 have broken the rates down into areas known as Middle-layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which each have a population of about 8,000.

The data has revealed that the neighbourhood of Fornham, Great Barton and Rougham currently has the highest infection rate in the region - with 486.2 cases per 100,000 people after 34 new infections were reported.

The neighbourhood of Great Notley and Black Notley currently has the lowest Covid rate in the region - with 93.3 cases per 100,000 after nine new infections were recorded.

Castle Hill still has the highest infection rate in Ipswich with 361.3 cases per 100,000 which is down from 491.3 last week.
