May 16, 2022May 16, 2022 Ben Clark

Sadly, the rapid fall in the number of infected people in Buckinghamshire has come to an end, and the risk of catching Covid when out and about in Bucks is still EXTREMELY HIGH. Worryingly, the number of people going into hospital with Covid-19 has started to go up again, as have deaths.

With 1 in 44 people in Bucks infected with Covid-19, BuDS still urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid-19. The chances of coming across a person with Covid in your everyday life is still EXTREMELY HIGH. Wear a FFP2 or N95 filter mask in public places, breathe clean air, avoid crowds and busy places, work from home if you can, and protect your older and vulnerable relatives and friends.

BuDS will let continue to keep you up to date every week.

The cautiously good news about Covid-19 in Buckinghamshire continues, with the number of infected people falling and the pressure on hospitals easing too. BUT this is a fall from an extraordinary high peak, so the risk of catching Covid when out and about in Bucks is still EXTREMELY HIGH.

BuDS still urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid. The chances of coming across a person with Covid in your everyday life is still EXTREMELY HIGH. Wear a FFP2 or N95 filter mask in public places, breathe clean air, avoid crowds and busy places, work from home if you can, and protect your older and vulnerable relatives and friends.

BuDS will let you know as soon as levels start to fall to safer levels where precautions can be relaxed.
