THERE were just under 800 new Covid cases in Andover area in the most recent seven-day period as the region continue to witness another coronavirus outbreak risk.

The Test Valley region recorded 797 new cases in the seven-day period during October 20-26, which was 1.0 per cent more than 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.

The government 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.
