The latest R rate figures across England have been released, showing how Cambridgeshire - and its region of the East of England - compares to the rest of the nation.
The R rate represents the number of people a person who has Covid-19 passes the disease on to, meaning that if the rate rises above one, the number of infections could also increase.
Currently, the R number in East of England - the region encompassing Cambridgeshire, as well as neighbours Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - is sitting on 0.8-1.0, according to the latest figures updated by the Government on Friday (August 28).
The latest R number range for the UK is 0.9-1.1 and the latest growth rate range for the UK is -2 to +1 per day.
A growth rate between -2 per cent and +1 per cent means the number of new infections is somewhere between shrinking by 2 per cent and growing by 1 per cent every day.
