This week’s snapshot shows 201 cases of COVID-19 locally in the week up to 27 June, a slight increase on last week.
Over half of our eligible population have now had two doses of their COVID-19 vaccination- protecting themselves and their families and friends from the virus.
You don’t even need to book an appointment to get your COVID-19 vaccination. Drop-in COVID-19 vaccinations are available for everyone aged over 18 at Bedford Heights, Manton Lane and Kidmans Surgical Chemist, Castle Road. For opening times please visit the BLMK website.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19, don’t use a rapid Lateral Flow Test – book a PCR test by visiting the Government website or by calling 119.
You and your household must isolate immediately. Help to isolate is available – visit our dedicated COVID-19 webpages to find out more.
Common symptoms of COVID-19 are:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
If you do not have one of the common symptoms, but still think you may have COVID-19 you may book a PCR test. Sometimes people with COVID-19 have other symptoms (for example a headache, tiredness or muscle aches), or no symptoms at all.
You can book a test by selecting “I’ve been told to get a test by my local council, health protection team or healthcare professional”.
