ALMOST a month into the third national lockdown, Reading is beginning to record fewer Covid cases.
We have rounded up the latest case numbers to show the worst affected areas in Reading.
A spread of different colours a few months ago, the Government's Covid-19 map now shows almost the whole of Reading as a sea of purple, indicating that the rolling rate for each postcode is above 400, with most postcode areas around the 650 mark.

The most severe locations are represented in the map in a darker purple, which show places with a rate of above 800 - but lately there has been less of this colour in the town, with only one area currently remaining in this colour.
The map's latest figures show the seven-day rolling rate up to January 24.
