Mobility reporting data has shown a large increase in visitors to Cornwall and a rise in the dominance of the more transmissible delta variant of the virus during the same time period. In particular, there has been an increase in case rates in the 15 to 24 year old age group, which is in line with national trends on higher case rates in unvaccinated age groups and age groups yet to acquire full immunity from the vaccine.
