Reading is suffering from a rapid spike in Covid cases – with numbers doubling in five areas.
Just two weeks ago, Government data showed that most of the town was recovering and cases were on the decline.
But in the seven days to November 17, the latest data available, 17 areas reported an increase when compared to the week before.
One reported no change, and the remaining two saw a decline.
