There seems to be some confusion around the confirmation yesterday from Cornwall Council that 170 new cases were confirmed at the Pilgrim’s Pride food factory in Pool - as far as I know, these are not 'new cases' but the total of ones already reported
Since the first announcement about the outbreak, there have been 284 cases confirmed across the whole of Cornwall - the vast majority of which have been in and around the Camborne, Pool and Redruth area where there are currently eight areas where clusters of cases confirmed
The 170 new cases confirmed headline is scary, but also wrong. The 170 cases is the total linked to the factory in the last 2 weeks, and virtually all have already been accounted for in the figures that are provided daily, so there won't be a massive spike of 170 new cases
Unfortunately, a lot of the reports published on this (mainly by the nationals) have failed to make any mention of this in their copy and have run with the line of it being 'new cases' rather than 'total cases' from the outbreak.
Anyone looking at the data would have seen the sharp rise in cases in Cornwall over the past two weeks, the majority of which can be attributed to this outbreak, given the MSOA clusters in and area the area where the factory is located, and realised these weren't 'new cases'
But then given that in yesterday's Government briefing, when showing the slides, they completely ignored the South West and what is happening here, can we really be surprised? Here's how the story has been reported by us cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…

The number of new coronavirus cases confirmed across Devon and Cornwall in the past week has fallen by another 10 per cent this week as the Omicron wave is not yet hitting the region.
A total of 9953 new cases were confirmed across the two counties – taking the total since the start of the pandemic to 244,148 – and below the 10,000 mark for the first in four weeks.
Every single region saw the number of new cases confirmed in the past week drop – and the number of people in hospital across the two counties is down to the lowest level in over a month.

We end the first week under Lockdown 3 and there's not a lot of good news, if any, to report in the weekly roundup of coronavirus across Devon and Cornwall - and things will probably get worse before they better and the effect of lockdown starts to impact the figures
A total of 5,120 new cases new cases were confirmed across the two counties – the highest weekly total so far (although comparisons with the Spring cannot be made due to lack of testing) – as the total for the two counties rises over 30,000.
Cases have risen in every single region of Devon and Cornwall – but despite the rises, Devon at upper tier level has the 3rd lowest infection rate, while at lower tier level, all ten areas of Devon are in the bottom 15 of the 315 nationwide.

As another week of lockdown passes, we've seen the drop off in cases we'd expect to see, as the number of new coronavirus cases confirmed across Devon and Cornwall have nearly halved in the previous seven days – with cases falling everywhere.
A total of 1,266 new cases have been confirmed across the two counties – the lowest since the week ending October 16 – and Friday’s figure of 97 cases is the first ‘double figure’ total since October 2. Cornwall, Plymouth, the South Hams and Torbay see a more than 50% drop.
Friday's figures of 97 are made up of 11 cases in Cornwall, 26 in East Devon, 11 in Exeter, 4 in Mid Devon, 16 in North Devon, 11 in Plymouth, 1 in Teignbridge, 10 in Torbay, 4 in Torridge, 4 in West Devon, and -1 for the South Hams, with no new cases, but one duplicate removed

All of Devon placed in Tier 2 - what it means - I've put in messages to all the MPs to see what their reaction is and whether they'll be voting for the measures

devonlive.com/news/devon-new…
Why Devon is in Tier 2 - Case rates are 121/100,000 overall though there are higher rates in Plymouth, Torbay and Exeter. The case rate in the over 60s is 85/100,000 though significantly higher in Exeter (155.9/100,000). Positivity is 4.2%. There is pressure at the RDE Hospital.
Response from @garystreeterSWD - "I see that only the Isle of Wight, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are in tier 1 so we must accept tier 2 for Devon and Plymouth. Our rates are continuing to fall and there will be a review before Christmas and I will continue to push...

Two weeks into Lockdown 2, and the highest number of weekly coronavirus cases confirmed in the last seven days across Devon and Cornwall has been recorded – but most areas are now seeing cases fall (and this week includes the weird Saturday where everything was double)
More than 2,000 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the last seven days across the two counties, taking the total since the beginning of the pandemic to 15,982.
Cases has risen everywhere, except for Torbay and West Devon, but when looking at cases by specimen date rather than reported date, only North Devon is seeing a rise - with five areas seeing a flat trend, and five areas seeing cases drop

It's Friday afternoon, and here's the weekly look back at the coronavirus figures across Devon and Cornwall, and cases have risen across the two counties (although only just in some places), but for the second week in a row, have fallen in Exeter
The total confirmed number of cases has today hit 10,000 across the two counties. It only crossed the 9,000 mark on Monday, with Friday's figures seeing 292 new cases. Plymouth’s figures rose over the 2,000 mark today. It hit 1,000 on October 5.
Government statistics show that 1,662 new cases have been confirmed across the region in the past seven days in both pillar 1 data from tests carried out by the NHS and pillar 2 data from commercial partners, compared to 1,395 new cases confirmed last week.
