THE one Test Valley area with more than two coronavirus cases has been revealed in the latest Government data.

An interactive Government map has shown that Romsey Town was the only area in the borough with three Covid-19 cases in the week to May 11.

According to the latest data, the area had one more infection than the week before and had a weekly rolling rate of 50.3 cases per 100,000 people.

This means the case rate was slightly above average in Romsey Town compared to the England average.

In the seven days to May 11, the borough documented 17 cases of the deadly bug - up by two on the previous week.

Test Valley had a weekly rolling rate of 13.5 cases per 100,000 people, meaning the borough's case rate was below average when compared to the UK average.

There were still 14 places in Test Valley that recorded fewer than three cases during this time and were classed as suppressed.

The Government does not show data for these areas to protect individuals' identities.

Some of the places that were nearly Covid-free include Romsey Cupernham & Halterworth, Nether Wallop, Kings Somborne & Dunbridge and Andover Central.

This comes as more restrictions have eased today in England, meaning the hospitality industry can finally serve customers indoors again for the first time since December.

The 'rule of six' or two households will still apply indoors, whereas gatherings of more than 30 people will be illegal outdoors.

However, the Prime Minister warned the Indian variant could make it "more difficult" for England to move to step four of the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown in June.

Boris Johnson stressed the Indian coronavirus variant could “pose a serious disruption” to plans to ease restrictions and “could make it more difficult” to end them as hoped in June.

He also said in Friday's (May 14) press conference that if the Indian variant proves to be “significantly more transmissible” than other strains “we’re likely to face some hard choices”.

The Prime Minister added: “I’m told that if it is only marginally more transmissible we can continue more or less as planned but if the variant is significantly more transmissible we’re likely to face some hard choices.”

But he said there is “no evidence to suggest that our vaccines will be less effective in protecting people against severe illness and hospitalisation”.
