A SINGLE case of the South African variant of Covid-19 has been identified in Bramley with mass testing starting this week. Anyone aged 16 or over in the Hampshire village, just outside of Basingstoke, will be subjected to surge testing. Concerns have been raised by health officials that the mutation can spread faster and vaccines may not be as effective. Those living in postcodes starting with RG26 will be invited to take a Covid test this week. As of February 8, cases in Bramley, Sherfield and the Sherbornes were down week-on-week with just nine new cases of Covid recorded compared to 14. This puts the village s rolling rate at 95.3, well below England s national average.
