Covid-19 cases in Salisbury have increased slightly, according to a map on the government's website.

Just a few days ago, on October 1, the tool suggested most areas in Salisbury had between zero and two confirmed cases.

This was based on positive tests carried out between September 20 and 26.

However, as of today (October 5), eight cases have been recorded across Stratford Sub Castle and Churchfields.

Salisbury Journal:

Four of these were in Stratford and four in Churchfields which are now highlighted in light blue, the colour used to indicate areas with three to nine cases.

The map also shows that in the Larkhill, Shrewton & Bulford Camp area, where last week four cases were recorded, numbers are going down and cases are now between zero and two.

The latest update is based on lab confirmed positive cases of coronavirus reported by October 2 with specimen dates between September 24 and 30.

The data are updated each weekday, and show the latest seven days for which near-complete data are available.
