Two areas of Hereford where there are almost no Covid cases

UPDATE: Almost no Covid cases recorded in area of Hereford over seven days

Just three cases of Covid-19 were recorded in Hereford Central in the latest seven-days, figures released by the government show.

Hereford South West also saw cases dramatically fall with just four recorded cases - a drop of 69.2 per cent (nine cases) on the previous week.

Both of these two areas are close to being classed as 'suppressed', meaning less than three cases recorded.

More detailed data is not shown from suppressed areas "to protect individuals' identities".

So exact figures of areas where less than three cases have been recorded are not released.
