Part of Devon has become the first place in England this year to record no coronavirus cases in a week.
Figures from Public Health England show between 3-9 April the North Devon District Council area recorded no new cases.
The last area to do so was neighbouring Torridge, from 13-19 September.
A local NHS spokesman urged people to continue to observe government guidelines on wearing masks and social distancing.
More recent provisional data for the 10-12 April suggests three new cases were recorded in the area, ending the district's seven-day streak.
