Publish more data on where cases are and on transmission
We should give everyone access to the detailed data available through positive test results. We must know from positive tests who people and therefore where exactly the cases are. While data is published at health board area level it must already be available at a more detailed level. Please publish it to a level of greater detail, such as to postcode area level, or to Council ward level if there are privacy concerns at postcode level.
Why the contribution is important
We should be more open and transparent about what is happening with the spread of the infection. Making more granular data available could help reduce the risk of localised outbreaks turning into wider ones. If the data is made available, everyone will know where "hotspots" are and can choose to avoid these areas or take additional precautions. That is how places like South Korea and other countries have got on top of outbreaks. Data is available in other countries like Spain to the equivalent of Council area.

Surely this isn’t beyond our computer capacity?!
