These are the areas in Milton Keynes where numbers of Covid-19 cases are falling fastest. Latest government figures show the biggest decrease in positive tests has come in Walnut Tree and Tillbrook, with Tattenhoe and Emerson Valley not far behind. Data analysts use areas of roughly equal population — known as Middle Layer Super Output Areas — each with an average of 7,200 people. They allow a four or five day period after raw data is published for corrections to be made, convert the figure into a figure assuming each area had a population of 100,000 then add the numbers to an interactive map. The rolling rate is the seven-day rolling rate of new infections per 100,000 people.
