THE vast majority of areas in Blackburn with Darwen continue to record fewer new coronavirus cases.
In five areas, the number of new cases registered in the week to April 5 were so low that no data has been released by the Government, in a bid to protect the identities of those who have contracted the virus. This only applies when fewer than three cases were recorded.
Elsewhere infection rates continue to drop, with only a handful of new cases detected in areas such as Ewood and Fenhurst; Central Blackburn and Bastwell.
In the area of Witton, Mill Hill and Hollin Bank 14 new cases were identified, making this one of the few areas in Blackburn with Darwen with an increased rate.
All figures have been taken from the Government’s coronavirus portal and were correct of April 9.
