MORE than 40 areas across Berkshire have not recorded any new coronavirus clusters, according to the latest data.

Public Health England breaks down the numbers of Covid-19 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, which can be found online, 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.

Government and Public Health England define a coronavirus cluster as an area where there are more than two coronavirus cases in a population size of 7,500 at any one time.

Some areas are coloured white and described as "suppressed", meaning MSOA level rates are suppressed and there have been zero to two cases in a seven-day period. This also protects the privacy of individuals and prevents disclosure.

Coronavirus cases across Berkshire continue to decrease, with 33 Covid-19 cases recorded in last 24 hours.

The updated 'R rate' for the South east, including Berkshire, is between 0.6 - 0.8.

The Government says an R-value between 0.6 and 0.8 means that, on average, every 10 people infected will infect between six and eight other people.

The current growth rate in the South West is set at -8 to -4. The size of the growth rate indicates the speed of change.

A growth rate of between -10 per cent and -6 per cent means that the number of new infections is shrinking by between six and 10 per cent every day.
