The latest list of confirmed COVID-19 coronavirus cases, area-by-area, has been released again today.
As the death toll in the UK exceeds 20 , Public Health England says Hampshire has the most confirmed cases but parts of the capital are also heavily affected.
Broken down by local authority area, the authority's list details those areas worst hit, and those yet to see any cases.
The list is in numerical order for ease of navigation.
Altogether, it brings the number of cases to more than 1,100 in the UK. More than 340 of those cases were confirmed today alone, with this daily figure set to rise for some time yet.

How to self-isolate
For those concerned they have coronavirus in the UK, Public Health England has issued advice about how to self-isolate.
1. Stay at home: Don't leave your house except when you need to seek medical care. Ask for help buying groceries or have them delivered.
2. Stat away from your housemates: Stick in a well-ventilated room away from others, with the door closed. Use a separate bathroom and wear a facemask when it shared areas.
3. Call ahead before visiting the doctors so they can take extra precautionary measures.
4. Cover you coughs and sneezes: Make sure to cover your nose and mouth and to throw away disposable tissues in a plastic waste bag.
5. Wash your hands regularly: This should be done often and thoroughly with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds, rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Avoid sharing household items: You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, bedding or other items with other people in your home when you have used them. After using these items, wash them thoroughly with soap and water.
7. Do not have visitors in your home.
8. Keep away from your pets if possible.
9. Keep your clothes clean: Do laundry on the highest temperature possible and clean all surfaces around the washing machine.
10. Monitor your symptoms: Seek prompt medical attention if your illness is worsening, for example, if you have difficulty breathing, or if the person you are caring for symptoms are worsening.

Coronavirus questions answered
Q: Will my pension be affected?
A: It depends what type of pension you’re paying into, how far off retirement you are, or if you have already retired.
As a general rule of thumb, the longer you are from retiring, the less reason there is to be concerned.
Q: I’ve got a private pension and am a few months off retiring?
A: The closer you get to retiring, the more of your pot your pension provider will shift from equities (shares) into other assets, such as cash. Doing so will limit the impact of the slump should you opt for an annuity – an insurance policy that pays out in retirement.
Q: I’m retired and I opted for a drawdown pension. How am I affected?
A: Drawdowns allow you to flexibly take cash out of your pension pot as and when you want.
But your funds remain invested and, therefore, at the mercy of stock markets, so can go down as well as up.
Q: I’m in a defined benefit pension, including a final salary scheme, will I be affected?
A: Unlikely. While the share slump could well hit the fund you’re in, it’s the responsibility of the firm that’s behind it. As long as the firm – or “sponsor” – is doing OK, you’ll be fine.
