ONLY three out of 28 areas of Southampton remain clear on the government's map of case clusters.

The latest data from Public Health England shows that the Harefield, Regents Park and Millbrook East, and Thornhill areas recorded fewer than three Covid cases in the seven days to June 23.

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.
