ONE month into the third national lockdown, Covid cases and rates are slowly but surely decreasing in Reading.

We have rounded up the latest case numbers to show the areas currently recording the fewest cases.

A spread of different colours a few months ago, the Government's Covid-19 map showed almost the whole of Reading as a sea of purple in recent weeks, indicating that the rolling rate for each postcode was above 400, with most postcode areas around the 650 mark.
