Isle of Wight-recorded cases of Covid-19 are rising, according to the government's interactive map, though we are still below average, when compared to mainland figures.

The map turns different colours, depending on how many positive coronavirus tests are added to the Isle of Wight's total.

Today (Tuesday) it shows Cowes, Gurnard and Northwood have seen the steepest rise in cases - although numbers are small and below the national average.

In the seven days to December 16, the Isle of Wight's rolling average rose to 55.7 per 100,000 people.

We have previously had the lowest rolling average in the country, however Torbay, Devon currently sits just below us - with 54.3 per 100,000.

The Isle of Anglesey, off the north coast of Wales, has 51.4 per 100,00, and a region of Scotland also has a lower rolling average.

Tier Four Portsmouth's average is 317.3 per 100,000 people.

Tier Two Southampton is on 154.8 per 100,000.

There is a time lag with the data, so the latest numbers are not included.

Areas in white have too few cases to publish.

Meanwhile, a number of other areas have moved up the scale in recent days.  

Yesterday (Monday), 24 new cases were recorded on the Isle of Wight, while one day this week saw a daily rise of 36 - the highest since the start of the pandemic.
