THESE are the nine areas of Southampton which have all recorded the highest Covid infection rates in the city, according to the Government's interactive map.
The Public Health England data shows that those areas all have infection rates of between 109 and 186.2 per 100,000 people. This means an average of one in 677 people in those areas has Covid-19.
The latest figures, which shows the data for the seven days to March 24, reveals that the areas are: Bevois Town, Central Southampton West, Highfield and University, Hightown, Redbridge and Millbrook West, Shirley Warren, Sholing East, St Denys, Thornhill.
Across the rest of the city, no other areas have rates of above 100 per 100,000 people.
Below, we have detailed those areas which have the city's highest rates. On the maps, they are highlighted with a black border.
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).
White areas are districts which have recorded fewer than three Covid cases in that time period.
