One area of the Braintree District is still a Covid hotpost, according to the latest figures.
According to the Government's latest hotspots map, one part of the district recorded three or more cases in the week to May 18.
Flitch Green, Felsted and High Easter is the only area to have recorded four cases in those seven days.
The rest of the borough has recorded less than three, meaning the virus is classed as "suppressed" in these areas.
They are not recorded on the hotspots map any longer.
However, the infection rate for the district as a whole remains low and currently stands at 5.9 per 100,000 people.
This comes as a third of people in Braintree are now fully vaccinated against Covid.
Last week indoor hospitality venues welcomed customers back for the first time in months.
