The areas of Southampton with the lowest Covid infection rates

The latest data, which covers the seven days to February 9, shows that several areas across the city have recorded rates below 100 per 100,000 people. This equates to fewer than one in every 1,000 people in those districts having had the virus during that period.

Below, we have listed those areas.

For reference, the map is divided into Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which are areas with an average population of 7,200.

It then colour-codes MSOAs depending on their seven day rolling infection rate, with areas placed into the boundaries of 0-9 (yellow), 10-49 (light green), 50-99 (dark green), 100-199 (light blue), 200-399 (dark blue), 400 to 799 (light purple) and 800 plus (dark purple).

Anywhere labelled '800 plus' is today deemed by the Government to be a 'hotspot' - no areas near to or in the city have been labelled as such.
