The Covid wave in Bucks remains for the moment at the ‘bottom of the peak’. But while levels are low by comparison with earlier in the year, the Covid risk still remains VERY HIGH. 1 in 78 people in Bucks are infected, and there will be 4 infected people in a typical busy supermarket. There are still enough people around to give you Covid if you don’t take care.

Remember, you can still catch Covid even if you are fully vaccinated or have had Covid before – there is no such thing as lasting immunity from Covid. Even people who caught Covid in the last few weeks may be able to catch it again in February.

The Christmas Covid wave in Bucks is thankfully falling sharply, as the virus runs out of people to infect. But the ‘bottom of the peak’ still means that the Covid risk remains VERY HIGH. 1 in 68 people in Bucks are still infected, and there will be 4 infected people in a typical busy supermarket. There are still plenty of people around who can give you Covid if you don’t take care.

The number of people infected with Covid in Bucks remains CRITICALLY HIGH. 1 in 26 people in Bucks are now infected, and there will be 11 infected people in a typical busy supermarket. This means that, unless you take precautions when out and about, you run a very high risk of catching Covid in the next few weeks. Remember, you can still catch Covid even if you are fully vaccinated or have had Covid before – there is no such thing as lasting immunity from Covid.

Our advice remains to wear a FFP2 or N95 filter mask in public places (especially hospitals and GP surgeries), 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.

Remember, it’s scientifically proven that Covid has hidden serious effects for many people who catch it, even if they are not very ill immediately, including making it more likely that they will get seriously ill with common infections. This is why we are continuing to stress that people should take precautions to avoid catching Covid.
