Slough Data

Slough rate is continuing to fall but is showing signs of a plateauing. Our rate is now 215 cases per 100,000 (down from nearly 1,100 at beginning January) which puts us at 27^th in the country. We’re still seeing upwards of 40-50 new diagnosed cases a day, so it’s important that we continue with the downward trend whilst the vaccine roll out continues. 

Please help us share this important message about hand hygiene:

“Properly washing hands with soap & warm water, or using hand sanitiser, remains one of the great ways of helping reduce the chances of catching coronavirus. Proper hand hygiene also works against the new strains. Don’t be a #SanitiserAvoider, keep your hands clean #HandsFaceSpace” 

Vaccine Roll Out

The vaccine roll out is continuing at pace. Local NHS colleagues have now started on cohort 5 which is everyone aged over 65. You can book your vaccine directly by calling 119 or heading to this website- Book a coronavirus vaccination - NHS (www.nhs.uk) They will shortly be starting on cohort 6 which is people aged 18-64 with a long term health condition that makes them clinically vulnerable to coronavirus. 

There are a series of fantastic mini video clips that have been produced to help promote the importance of vaccinations. Please help us by sharing them with your friends, families and local networks. They can be found here - Chapter 3 COVID Video Stories - Get Vaccinated - YouTube
