The Delta variant surge across the UK has seen a large proportion of Somerset's local coronavirus rates rise week to week, according to government data.
Public Health England is publishing a weekly update outlining the number of new cases reported in each seven-day period for every area of the country, as well as an interactive heatmap showing the most affected areas.
The rolling data reports the new cases being confirmed in any seven-day period, with the data published on Thursday (July 8) covering the period up to July 3.

Where is the data coming from?
You can see the latest national data on the online COVID-19 cluster map.
The map uses data from Public Health England's "second generation surveillance system".
The map highlights which areas of the nation have three or more confirmed cases of the virus and colour co-coordinates the areas by how many cases they have.
The map is divided into sections - officially known as 'Middle Super Output Areas' - and each section is coloured a different shade depending on how many positive Covid test results have been recorded in that area.
The darker the colour on the image, the more positive test results have been recorded.
Data for the most recent five days has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.
