AND then there was one. The last place in the Winchester district with a cluster of Covid cases.

It is Winchester West, the area that includes Fulflood and Weeke.

The latest information relating to Covid-19 was updated this afternoon and reports only four cases in that area in the week to Sunday April 4, the most recent day for which localised figures are available. That figure of four is the same as for the previous seven days and gives a rolling number of 30.1 per 100,000.

The other 13 areas have reported fewer than three cases in those seven days and are marked white on the Government map, below. Colden Common and Twyford is the most recent area to be marked as white.

The map below shows how Covid-19 has almost gone from the district. It shows places with between zero and two cases showing white in order to "protect the privacy of individuals and prevent disclosure."

It is not possible to say how many news cases have been reported in Hampshire and Winchester district today as the latest figures are lower than yesterday. Winchester 4,895 from 4,910 and Hampshire 63,112 from 63,269. The reason is unclear.

In Winchester district in the seven days to April 4 there have been 13 cases, down 16 from the previous seven days to give a rolling number per 100,000 people of just 10.4. In Hampshire there were 241 over the same period, down 198, for a rolling 17.4.
