There's an interactive map that you can use to see all the Covid-19 cases in your area around Leeds.
The easing of restrictions in Leeds and across England this week just so happens to have coincided with a large rise in cases as well as a spike in hospital admissions and deaths.
As a result, whilst technically we are all now more "free" to make our own choices, caution is still being urged amongst the general public.
The map has been revealed as a leading SAGE advisor has warned that another lockdown could be imminent in the coming weeks.
Covid is becoming prevalent amongst young people, with those aged under 30 who may not have had a chance to have both inoculations before the easing now making up the majority of those being treated in hospital.

Long covid is also of concern for these young people, especially as it is not yet known what the long term impact of this illness really is.
The map will help you to discover the number of new cases diagnosed in the past week, as well as showing data to explain how that compares to the week prior.
It shows the case rate per 100,000 people - a metric that is useful for comparing what's going on here with other towns and countries.
And that's not all.The map will also tell you how many new cases have been diagnosed in the past week, how that compares to the previous seven days, and the colour code will give you an idea of how high the infection rate is where you live.
To use the map and see the cases in your local area, all you need to do is input your postcode here and press enter.

Megastar Pitbull is heading to Roundhay Park in Leeds for a headline festival performance where you're sure to be yelling "Timber".
Lots of Leeds music lovers might be flocking to Roundhay Park for an outdoor gig like no other because this one comes with 'Hotel Room Service' - not literally, but the Cuban-American star will probably deliver a rendition of this smash hit.
Amid this current heatwave, we might even be able to change the 'International Love' lyrics from "Hotter than Miami" to "Hotter than Roundhay".

Award-winning Leeds brewery reveals plans for biggest beer festival yet
Clementine Hall
Hop City, the UK’s first hop-led beer festival from Leeds-based brewery Northern Monk, is returning next year for a landmark 10th birthday celebration.
And this time it's going to be bigger and better than ever before, take place across two sessions on Saturday 15 May 2027 and held at Project House for the first time.
Hop City 10 will be the brewery’s biggest festival yet with over 300 beers from 50 producers, up from this year’s 35, coming to Leeds from across the US, Europe and the UK.
The first guest announcement includes Vermont-based The Alchemist, regarded as one of the pioneers of the Hazy beer synonymous with the festival, joining Northern Monk for the first time since the inaugural Hop City; and Delaware’s Dogfish Head, another highly respected US brewer who last poured for Hop City in 2023.
There will also be many more no/low choices and more non-beer options, including Manchester’s Stiff Tea Brewing Company and their signature Hard Kombucha.
Tickets to Hop City include entry and access to the festival throughout your chosen session, all of the entertainment on offer, an exclusive Hop City 10 glass and all of your sample pours throughout your session. Sounds like a pretty good deal if you ask us.
Russell Bisset, Founder of Northern Monk: “It’s hard to believe that we’re celebrating a decade of Hop City.
“We’re pulling out all the stops for its 10th anniversary, taking everything people already love about the festival to the next level whilst bringing in new experiences, collaborations and features that we’ve never had the space to deliver before.
“We’re also excited to be welcoming some of our brewing heroes to Leeds, including the founders of US breweries Alchemist, Dogfish Head and Other Half, who will all be flying over to Leeds. These are people and breweries that we’ve admired for years, so to have them join us to celebrate 10 years of Hop City is really special.
“Whether you’ve been with us since year one or are joining us for the first time, this will be our biggest and most exciting Hop City yet. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at Project House next year”
