CORONAVIRUS cases have surged in two mid Essex neighbourhoods in the past week, the latest figures show.
An interactive government map displays colour-coded areas in each authority's neighbourhood wards to highlight the severity of its current coronavirus infection rate, from white, yellow and green through to blue, dark purple and black.
The 'blackspots' on the map indicate areas where case rates per 100,000 people are higher than 800.
