Across the period of the pandemic, 1,027 people have tested positive in the conurbation - an infection rate of 259.8 per 100,000 people.
In the Dorset Council area, four people returned positive test results. This means 717 people have tested positive since the start of the pandemic, giving a rate of 189.4.
