AS LOCKDOWN eases and the vaccination programme continues to ramp up, we look back at how Slough’s coronavirus cases fared in the past month.

Berkshire Public Health (BPH) publishes a weekly Covid-19 briefing and breaks down the data by electoral ward.

The data was published on May 12 and shows the number of reported cases and their infection rate between April 9 and May 6.

BPH has rounded the data for each ward to the nearest five in order to protect the identity of individuals.
