With 1 in 48 people in Bucks infected with Covid-19, the risk of catching Covid when out and about in Bucks is still EXTREMELY HIGH. Recent falls in the number of infected people have stopped, and early signs are that we may see them rising again soon.
BuDS still urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid-19. To repeat: 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.
The good news is that the number of people in hospital with Covid-19 is continuing to trend downwards. This is because the number of people infected with Omicron BA.2 is falling. However, if the number of infected people starts to rise again as new variants spread (see below), the number of people in hospital will start to go back up again as well.
BuDS will let continue to keep you up to date every week.
