The risk of meeting a Covid-infected person in your everyday life this week is slightly higher than it was last week, and remains Very High. Around 1 in every 71 people in England have Covid – this is also the rate for Bucks.
As an example of the risk of catching Covid, a typical busy supermarket will have between 3 and 6 infected people breathing out virus which you could catch.
Bucks and England appear to be still in a “summer lull”, similar to 2022. We have not yet found any firm evidence of a major increase in infection rates.
There are two main reasons for this lull. Most of the population have now already caught a variant of Covid in the last few months, and a new variant has not yet come along. This means that the temporary immunity that you get from catching Covid is protecting most people from a fresh infection. That will change, of course, when the next new variant arrives which can avoid the temporary immunity given by past variants.

As an example of the risk of catching Covid, a typical busy supermarket will have between 3 and 6 infected people breathing out virus which you could catch.
Bucks and England appear to be in a “summer lull”, similar to 2022. Recent peaks (March and May) have boosted temporary immunity, and the hot weather is reducing indoor contact. However, Covid is still widespread in the population, and we are already seeing signs that the recent fall in infections is coming to an end. We are still confidently predicting that rates will again increase as we move into the late summer and autumn.

Huntsmill Farm is a farm wedding venue in the north of Buckinghamshire. In June, they put on a Pop-Up-Pub to help raise money for BuDS. Pop-Up-Pubs are local community events allowing locals to come and have a drink and a bit of food in the venue whilst supporting a local charity.
BuDS was delighted to receive nearly £800 from Huntsmill Farm. We will use this money to support disabled people all over Bucks. Thank you so much to Huntsmill Farm and to everyone who attended the Pop-Up-Pub and gave so generously!

The risk of meeting a Covid-infected person in your everyday life this week has risen slightly. The risk is still Very High. Around 1 in every 62 people in Bucks have Covid.
As an example of the risk of catching Covid, a typical busy supermarket will have between 4 and 7 infected people breathing out virus which you could catch.
As we predicted last week, the Covid risk appears to be rising again now that the school holidays are over. We cautiously expect this rise to continue for the near future.

The risk of meeting a Covid-infected person in your everyday life this week has fallen, but is still Very High. Around 1 in every 66 people in Bucks have Covid.
As an example of the risk of catching Covid, a typical busy supermarket will have between 4 and 6 infected people breathing out virus which you could catch.
Covid infection rates historically fall during school holidays, so this is probably why the Covid risk has been lower in the last couple of weeks. People may have also been less likely to report symptoms to the Zoe study during the holidays. We are cautiously predicting that the Covid risk will rise again now that the school holidays are over.

We think that we are now at the end of a small peak of Covid infections, but it is too early to say whether infections will go down or up in the next few weeks.
Looking back on last week, we think that we probably significantly underestimated the number of infections. We said that 1 in 40 people in Bucks had Covid, but the true figure was more likely to be around 1 in 29. Sadly, until the Government starts widespread testing again, it is much more difficult to estimate infection levels.
