The impact of the lockdown can be seen across Dorset, according to an interactive map on the government website.

Huge swathes of the county are now recording five cases or fewer in total.

A total of 24 Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) across Dorset confirmed five cases or fewer in the seven days up to November 28.

Bournemouth Echo:

And a further 25 locations were labelled "suppressed" with fewer than three cases during the same period. 

Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs) based on population.

For smaller areas (eg MSOAs) with fewer than three cases, they appear in white on the map to indicate "suppressed" rates. This also helps to protect individuals' identities.

The map is colour coded and the darker the colour on the map, the more positive test results have been recorded.

However, up to November 28, no areas in Dorset appeared as purple which indicates an infection rate of more 400 per 100,000 people. 

And no areas are showing in dark blue where the MSOA rate is between 201 and 400.
