THE areas of Wokingham which recorded the most Covid-19 cases last week have been revealed.
Public Health England has broken down the data to show the number of confirmed cases recorded in local neighbourhoods, which are known as Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs).
Between October 6 and October 13, the figures show 108 people tested positive for the virus in the Wokingham borough.
Finchampstead was the area with the highest number (15) of confirmed cases.

Crowthorne North, Shinfield, and Barkham each recorded nine cases.
While Wokingham Town, Spencers Wood and Swallowfield, Twyford East and Wargrave, and Earley each recorded eight cases.
Five cases were detected in Twyford West and Charvil, Lower Earley North, and Sonning and Woodley North.
Wokingham East, Wokingham West and South, Arborfield and Wokingham North and Hurst all recorded four cases each.
Winnersh recorded the fewest cases (three) during that seven-day period.
MSOAs are clusters of 2,000 to 6,000 households and the boundaries are set by the Office for National Statistics.
Some MSOA boundaries align with ward boundaries but many of them differ.

Earlier this month Wokingham Borough Council revealed “the majority of cases” have been reported within five wards: Winnersh, Hawkedon, Evendons, Wescott, Emmbrook.
More than 1,010 people have now tested positive for Covid-19 in Wokingham and 153 have died after contracting the virus.
Wokingham is currently covered by the medium alert level, which means the government will not be imposing any further restrictions unless there is a significant increase in cases.
