Weekly figures
This week, in Central Bedfordshire we’ve seen 256 new COVID-19 cases. This is 90 cases less than last week which is positive. However, this week the report also includes data on hospital admissions which is a concern as admissions are increasing and we have also sadly recorded four deaths.
Also, it is important to consider the situation in other areas close to us:
- Luton – 642 cases and 4 deaths
- Milton Keynes – 449 cases and 5 deaths
- Bedford - 223 cases and 6 deaths
Let’s hope this downward trend in new cases continues in the coming weeks, to do this we must not be complacent, we all need to continue playing our part in controlling the virus and protecting others by:
- washing our hands regularly
- wearing a face covering
- socially distancing from anyone we don’t live with
If you have symptoms (details on the NHS website), test positive or are asked to isolate by Test and Trace you MUST do so and can be fined if you don’t. There is support and advice available to you if you need help to isolate.
We all have a part to play in protecting our loved ones and keeping coronavirus at bay
Washing your hands, wearing a face covering and social distancing continue to be important measures we can all take to reduce the spread of the virus.
As the colder weather sets in and we stay indoors more, opening windows and improving ventilation can also help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses too.
The NHS have produced a new video explaining the importance of opening a window regularly, letting fresh air in and helping any infected particles to leave your home.
