PARTS of Swindon have seen the number of new coronavirus cases double, though some areas have still had fewer than three within a week.
The government's interactive map uses figures from the seven days leading up to June 28 to determine the extent to which Covid-19 cases are rising or falling in different parts of the borough and beyond.
Places that had managed to keep the number of new cases suppressed to a low level, like Walcot East, Cricklade and Ashton Keynes, Lydiard Millicent and Purton, and Gorse Hill - saw a sharp rise in new Covid cases though overall numbers remained small.
The place with the highest amount of new cases confirmed - Rodbourne and Cheney Manor - still only had 17 in total during the week.
Haydon Wick, the Parks, Pinehurst and Penhill were among the areas that had no infection rate data available due to the very low number of new cases recorded.
The borough's overall infection rate was 78.3 cases per 100,000 people, with the number of new cases recorded in the seven days up to June 28 totalling 174, which is 44 (33.8%) more than the previous week.
