COVID continues to spread across Southampton neighbourhoods as schools and workplaces return from the festive break.

In the seven days to December 29, the city saw 508 more cases when compared to the previous week, according to the latest Government data.

This means the total number of cases sits at 3,196 – a case rate of 1,263.9 per 100,000 people.

However, eight of the city's 31 districts reported a decrease in cases during the same period.
