Covid-19 Risk Assessment Week Ending 25th April 2022
The Covid-19 EMERGENCY in Buckinghamshire continues, although the holidays are continuing to slightly reduce infection levels. As of 16 April, 1 in every 18 people in Bucks has Covid-19. There has been NO big fall in infections and the risk of meeting an infected person remains CRITICALLY HIGH.
BuDS urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid. 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.
Remember, Covid-19 is NOT like the flu or a cold. It matters if you catch Covid. Covid-19 is medically proven to cause widespread organ damage and long-term illness in millions of people, which the flu has never done. Even if you have manageable Covid illness at home, the longer-term effect on you and your future could be devastating. Taking sensible precautions is in your own best interest, especially if you are disabled, have medical conditions, or are an older person.
