THESE are the areas of Southampton and Hampshire that have recorded the highest amount of Covid cases according to the latest Government figures.

It’s been almost 10 weeks since the latest lockdown was introduced on January 5, and cases have dropped significantly across the area.

As well as this, the impact of the lockdown on cases and rates, as well as the vaccine rollout, has meant a huge reduction in the number of recorded infections.

A map on the government website using data from Public Health England breaks down the number of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.

The map, using data from Public Health England, breaks down the number of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.

It 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).

As reported, more than 100 areas of Hampshire appear white and are described as “suppressed” meaning they have fewer than three cases.
