I have been looking at the MSOA data for cases to 6 September 2020 at arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… . There are some places with very high case numbers.
#Sunderland - Houghton West (Houghton-le-Spring) has 45 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *560* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8000) Image
#Bradford - Shearbridge and University has 37 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *460* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8,000) @UniofBradford Image
