Weekly Local Covid-19 Update

It's really pleasing to see that the numbers of local cases are falling in our area now, thanks to each and every one of you who are continuing to follow the Lockdown rules.

Last week in New Romney, there were 15 confirmed cases which equates to 203.2 cases per 100,00 people (source:

However, we cannot afford to let it slip if we want to get back to some sort of normality, and prevent further spread of the virus, especially as the new strain of the virus is very virulent. We must all keep following the Lockdown regulations, https://www.gov.uk/.../national-lockdown-stay-at-homehowever, however hard we are finding it.

Remember HANDS - FACE - SPACE if you do have to go out.

Get tested if you have symptoms, and isolate.

Even if you are symptom free, do your bit, and get tested, if you leave the house for work or essential activities,

Vaccinations continue to be rolled out to designated groups - please follow the link if you receive a text message to book.

Remember
