Bucks is facing a huge Covid wave, as infections surged over Christmas and New Year. With an astonishing 1 in 17 people now infected, and 17 infected people in a typical busy supermarket, we’ve raised the risk level to CRITICALLY HIGH. This means that, unless you take precautions when out and about, you are almost CERTAIN to catch 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.

The Covid risk in Bucks is still VERY HIGH. As of 14 December, 1 in 43 people in the county were infected with Covid-19. In your average busy supermarket, there will be seven people breathing out Covid for you to catch. This is probably the beginning of the predicted ‘Winter Wave’ of Covid, though it is hard to completely confirm that – cases are apparently rising much slower than we had initially predicted.
