Coronavirus cases for a seven-day average in Reading are continuing to rise amid concerns over the spread of the Indian Covid-19 variant.

An interactive map, which uses data from Public Health England, shows how many people have tested positive for the virus in each area during a seven-day period.

The data is broken down by postcodes.

Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.
