NO 'HOTSPOTS' have been identified in Hampshire, according to an interactive map on the government website.

A 'hotspot' is an area where infection rates are more than 400 per 100,000 people.

However, several areas are close to becoming one, incuding New Alresford near Winchester.

The area has a seven-day rolling rate of 342.7. The rate is calculated by dividing the seven-day count by area population and multiplying it by 100,000.

According to the map, the area has recorded 29 new cases in the seven days up to November 22 - which is the same number of new cases recorded as the week before.

Daily Echo:

The dark blue sections in the map show areas that have an infection rate of between 201-400.

The map uses data from Public Health England to show potential virus "hotspots" in the country.

It is divided into Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which are areas with an average population of 7,200.

The map - which is updated weekly - colour-codes MSOAs depending on their seven day rolling rate, with areas placed into the boundaries of 0-10, 11-50, 51-100, 101-200, 201-400 and 400 plus.
