Title: The Berkshire towns and villages with the fewest covid cases as lockdown 2 kicks Post by: Cookham v Coronavirus on November 07, 2020, 06:15:21 PM Four areas have fewer than three cases ahead of the lockdown, Whitley Wood, Hungerford and the villages of Arborfield, Crowthorne North.
The worst affected areas in Berkshire are all in urban areas. Strategic director of Public Health for Berkshire Tessa Lindfield explained the virus spreads quicker in high density areas like Slough and Reading. Speaking to BerkshireLive, she said: "Slough in particular also has higher levels of deprivation. "What this means is you have more people in 'people-facing' roles, like taxi-drivers, NHS workers and shopkeepers. "These people have much more contact with other people, which means they are more susceptible to Covid." Central Slough & Upton Court has the highest amount of cases, with 37 people testing positive. Cases are also high in Maidenhead Central (24 cases) Leighton Park in Reading (25 cases) and Wokingham Road in East Reading (25 cases). According to the latest data, 186 people tested positive for coronavirus in Berkshire in the 24 hours to November 5. Cases increased in all areas. Here's all the areas of Berkshire which have had three or more coronavirus cases over the seven days from October 23 to October 30.
