COVID cases are still rising in most Southampton neighbourhoods.
In the seven days to December 31, 26 of the 31 districts reported an increase when compared to the previous week.
This is the latest Government data availabe – and also shows that just five districts saw a decrease.
Case rates are exceptionally high in Woolston, where 1,898 people per 100,000 have tested positive. This is higher than most London boroughs.
Townhill Park also has a high rate of 1,645.1 per 100,000 people.
However, Bassett Green continues to buck the trend, with a case rate of just 625.6. This is by far the lowest in Southampton, hence why it is the only district to appear a lighter purple.
As a whole, Southampton reported 3,330 cases, up 465 or 16.2%. This is a case rate of 1,316.9 per 100,000 people.
Hampshire reported 18,929, an increase of 3,548 or 23.1% – increasing the case rate to 1,362.6 per 100,000 people.
County data does not include cases from Southampton or Portsmouth.
Clusters are shown when there are three or more new cases reported at any one time.
Anywhere with between zero and two cases are shown in white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure", the Government organisation states.
