Coronavirus infection rates across boroughs in South and West London continued to fall according to the most recent data published by Public Health England (PHE).
The number of new coronavirus infections are falling across the region as the ongoing lockdown imposed to slow the spread of Covid-19 continues to have an impact.
There were hundreds of new infections in almost all South West London boroughs in the latest round of new data published by Public Health England (PHE), however, showing continued high prevalence of the virus in the seven days up to February 7.
