AN INTERACTIVE map has revealed the places in Basingstoke and Deane that has the highest number of Covid cases.

In the seven days to February 21, Andover London Road & East Anton saw the highest number of new cases, at 20 - down 10 from the previous week.

The next highest area was Andover Charlton & Bourne Valley, with 10 new cases, keeping its rate the same as the previous week.

The third highest rate was in Whitchurch & Ashmansworth, which saw nine new cases - an increase of two cases from the previous week.

The interactive map on the government website shows just how many people have tested positive for the virus in each area of the county over the seven-day period.

Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.

The interactive map allows users to type in their postcode and see how many cases were reported in their area and if it has increased or decreased from the week before. The darker the colour on the image, the more positive test results have been recorded.

The map highlights which areas of the nation have three or more confirmed cases of the virus and colour co-coordinates the areas by how many cases they have.

A total of 1126 new cases were confirmed in the test Valley borough in the seven days to February 19, however this dropped to 99 new cases in the week to February 26.

This means that Test Valley currently has a rolling rate of 91.2 per 100,000 population, lower than the UK average of 114.

But in Andover London Road & East Anton , as well as Andover Charlton & Bourne Valley and Whitchurch & Ashmansworth, the rates are much higher.

Andover London Road & East Anton has a rolling rate of 117.9, Andover Charlton & Bourne Valley 141.8, and Whitchurch & Ashmansworth 126.2 - all above the UK average.

On the other end of the scale, areas including Chilbolton, Clatford & Barton Stacey; South Wonston, Sutton Scotney & Micheldever; and Overton & North Waltham are considered “suppressed” by the map, meaning they recorded fewer than 3 cases in the seven day period.
