THE 10 Test Valley areas that are nearly Covid-free have been revealed in new Government data.

A map on the Government coronavirus dashboard, in the week to April 6, shows the locations across the borough with fewer than three cases.

This means the data for these areas is suppressed to protect individuals' privacy.

The places with fewer than three cases are:

  • Romsey Cupernham & Halterworth
  • North Baddesley & Braishfield
  • Abbotswood & West Wellow
  • Valley Park
  • Nether Wallop, King's Somborne & Dunbridge
  • Over Wallop & Shipton Bellinger
  • Andover West
  • Andover Central
  • Andover Charlton & Bourne Valley
  • Chilbolton, Clatford & Barton Stacey

The interactive map breaks down infections in England into small areas with a population of around 7,200 called Super Middle Output Areas (MSOAs).

For each MSOA, the map shows the number of cases in the past week, increases or decreases compared to the week before and the rate of cases per 100,000 people.

In the seven days to April 6, cases increased slightly in Test Valley with 37 infections recorded - up by four on the previous week.

The borough had a weekly rolling rate of 29.3 cases per 100,000 people.

This means Test Valley had an above average case rate compared to the UK average.

However, there are still three areas where Covid cases are rising.

They are:

  • Romsey Town
  • Andover London Road & East Anton
  • Andover South
