The latest detailed information on Covid-19 cases in Ealing borough shows that currently there is a hot spot in the Greenford area.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) publishes the number of cases at a very local level. The borough of Ealing is divided into Middle Layer Super Output areas (MSOA) by the ONS.
The area designated as Greenford Ravenor Park MSOA had an infection rate of over 400 per 100,000 population one of the highest rates in London. There were 30 cases in the area, an 87.5% rise over the previous week.
Earlier on this month the area designated as Drayton Green & Cleveland in West Ealing had the highest infection rate in London. We asked Ealing Council if they could provide an explanation for the cluster of infections in the area but they did not respond. Although the number of cases has declined there were still 34 new cases reported over the last week.
The areas with the lowest levels of infection are South Ealing and Elthorne Park which have both seen fewer than 100 cases per 100,000 population over the last week.

Although Ealing no longer has the highest rate of infection of any borough in London it remains one of the worst affected with 214 cases per 100,000 in the week to 6 November.
Ealing Council leader Julian Bell said when announcing the new government lockdown restrictions, "In Ealing we have had one of the highest rates of Covid in the capital over recent weeks and the scientists are saying that rates are to increase further. We must act now to protect our community. By doing so we can save lives.”
