The number of new cases has fallen by around 15% in the past week, putting Richmond bottom of all 32 London boroughs for coronavirus.
Our infection rate currently stands at 82.8 cases per 100,000 people in the population.
The worst-hit London borough is currently Redbridge with 305.7 cases per 100,000 people.
It caps a remarkable turnaround for Richmond as we had the capital's highest infection rate for parts of October.
