Recent data shows that Coronavirus cases have decreased to almost zero in every area of Leek.

Just published Government data shows just how scarce the virus has now become in the town.

An interactive map shows that every area of Leek has been left blank, which means that the virus is classed as "suppressed" in these areas.

What's more is that in all areas of the town the number of cases is so small that the Government has opted not to show them. This is to protect infected individuals' identities.

Areas where data is not shown means there are fewer than three cases of the virus, meaning there could either be zero, one, or two cases in that area.

The map shows that from from April 30 to May 7 2021 there were fewer than three cases of Coronavirus in every area of Leek. This includes:

- Leek Town

- Leek South and Cheddleton

- Ipstones, Warslow and Hamps Valley

- Leek East & Upper Hulme

There are just seven areas in the UK with triple figures of COVID-19 cases in that same time period.

Bolton currently has the most cases in our country, with 384 positive tests to May 6.

Kirklees came in second with 243. Derry City and Strabane were third with 131 cases.

Barnsley had 136. Blackburn with Darwen, which borders on Bolton, had 127. Bedford had 106.
