Government data map shows Covid rates are rising across Southampton

The Government considers areas with case rates higher than 800 per 100,000 people to be in the worst category possible.

Townhill Park reported a rate of 1,032 in the seven days to November 19 – the latest data available. This is higher than any London borough, and almost every district in the country.

It experienced an increase of 35 cases when compared to the week prior.

Shirley South and Bitterne East are also in the worst category, meaning they appear a dark maroon on the Government map.

Central Southampton West experienced a huge decrease in cases in the same period (14 cases, down 19).
