The Covid risk In Buckinghamshire has continued to decline over the last week. However, there is still a VERY HIGH risk of meeting an infected person at work, at the shops or when out and about. People still need to stay Covid-Careful, because Covid-19 has NOT gone away. We predict that around 1 in 57 people in Bucks are still infected with Covid-19.

The big question now is whether infection levels will continue to go down, stay the same, or begin to rise again. The autumn/winter wave of Covid-19 has to start at some point, and this may be in the next few weeks.

The cautiously good Covid news continues this week, as the current BA.4/5 wave continues to decline. We do not have updated ONS data as yet, but our best estimate of the level of risk in Bucks is that around 1 in 40 residents in Bucks were infected last week. That’s nearly 12,000 people.

1 in 40 people infected means that you still have an EXTREMELY HIGH risk of meeting an infected person at work, at the shops or when out and about. People still  now need to stay Covid-Careful, because Covid has NOT gone away.

Don’t feel safe because you have had Covid before or are fully vaccinated. The new variants of the Covid virus making up this third wave have evolved to avoid your immunity, so you are still vulnerable to catching Covid again. Every time you catch Covid-19 increases your chances of being very ill or developing Long Covid, so it is still VITALLY IMPORTANT to protect yourself now, even if you haven’t been Covid-Careful up until now.  

Our advice remains to 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. These simple precautions will help save you and your family from serious illness or long-term disability.
