The government has agreed to allow Windsor and Maidenhead to stay at "medium risk" and in the lowest tier.
It comes a week after Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council asked the ministers to consider moving into the "high-risk" tier two.
Since then the number of positive Covid-19 cases across the borough has slowed in the last week.
