How are the figures counted? Data by Public Health England shows the number of Covid cases reported week by week from March last year through to last week. These figures are broken down by small areas in England (towns, villages or even wards) called MSOAs. To protect the privacy of individuals, data for areas that in one particular week reported fewer than two cases comes up as suppressed . This means that it is impossible to know how many cases were recorded there in weekly periods when figures were between zero and two.
Why does it matter? When trying to work out the total number of infections reported in each MSOA since the start of the pandemic, the lack of data affects the overall total.

Bridport town centre. Picture: Michael Taylor THE 10 areas in Dorset with the fewest number of Covid cases reported during the entire pandemic have been revealed. Public Health England figures looking back to March 2020 show the number of infections recorded on a weekly basis in a particular area since the pandemic began. The data covers every weekly period from March 17, 2020 to April 23, 2021. Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area. They also have an average population of 7,200.
