Areas with the highest and lowest coronavirus cases as cases decrease in Dorset NEARLY every area of Dorset has recently reported more than three active coronavirus cases, according to the latest statistics. An interactive map, which uses Public Health England data, shows how many people have tested positive for the virus in each area of the county over the seven-day period up to Sunday, July 25. 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.
The interactive map, which can be found through this link, allows users to type in their postcode and see how many cases were reported in their area and if it has increased or decreased from the week before. The darker the colour on the image, the more positive test results have been recorded.
DOZENS of outstanding Dorset schools are set to face inspectors for the first time since controversial exemptions were axed. From September, Ofsted will resume inspecting schools across the country and for the first time in almost a decade, those deemed outstanding will also face compulsory routine visits. Figures from the education watchdog, covering 150 of Dorset s primary and secondary schools, show that 25 received an outstanding rating the last time they were inspected. Under rules introduced in 2012, those schools became exempt from being routinely reinspected and only faced scrutiny if concerns were raised about their performance. The exemptions were introduced by the then Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition Government to give outstanding schools more freedom.
