The difference lockdown has made to Covid cases across Oxford can be seen in an interactive map.

Going from light green through to dark blue, the Public Health England map shows areas with the highest weekly infection rates per 100,000 people.

Map of Oxford Covid cases in the week to December 1

While cases have not come down in every area of the city, which is divided into 18 wards of roughly equal population size, some hotspots have dropped sharply during the month.

As the city headed into national restrictions Cowley North recorded 43 cases in the week to November 3, but this has halved to 21. Other successes include East Central Oxford down to six as of December 1 from 34.

At the opposite end, however, Greater Leys, had 18 infections to December 1 compared with just three at the start of November.
