Three areas of the borough have had more Covid cases per head than the England average, the latest data reveals.
In the seven days to March 26, the areas of Tadley West, Kingsclere & Heath End and Tadley East, Pamber & Silchester have all recorded more than eight new Covid cases.
All three areas on the Berkshire border now have had more than 100 Covid cases per 100,000 people in the last week, above the England average.
But elsewhere in the borough, it's better news.
Just five other Middle Layer Super Output Areas - a population-based way of splitting the country that are slightly larger than council wards - recorded more than three Covid cases in the week to March 26.
They are Daneshill & Little Basing, Popley, Hatch Warren, Kempshott and Chineham.
When there are less than three cases in each area, the government suppresses the case data to protect individuals' identities.
In the borough as a whole, there were seven more Covid cases than the previous week, although its case rate of 33.4 is still below the England average.
The latest data reflects the seven days to March 26, which was just days before the 'stay at home' law was rescinded.
