ONLY five areas of Warrington recorded three or more new coronavirus infections over the past week. This demonstrates the progress being made by the town’s vaccination programme, with a quarter of adult residents having received both doses. The areas with the highest number of new cases – Stockton Heath and Hillcliffe and Fairfield and Howley – only saw five recorded over the most recent seven-day period. This is a far cry from the height of the pandemic, with some areas seeing outbreaks of more than 80 cases in a week. In total, coronavirus is virtually non-existent in 20 out of 25 areas in Warrington – the equivalent of 80 per cent of the town.
