COVID-19 cases are increasing. Vaccinations are available from today for those eligible, but if you are showing symptoms please try not to spread it to those around you. Advice for self care can be found on on the NHS website: https://t.co/IEH7zvBw1j

#Covid cases are on the way up again in #somerset, and hospitals are under tremendous non-covid pressure. 49.5% positivity in community PCR testing (excluding care homes). If you have respiratory symptoms get PCR tested and stay home please. Don't spread it.

The COVID-19 vaccination programme in Somerset continues to deliver vaccines to people across the county - including 16 and 17 year olds.

If you haven't had your first jab, please attend a walk-in clinic as soon as you can. Find your nearest clinic here: https://t.co/A26pNo1TQb

Adherence to contact precautions monitored (and v high) and transmission of MDROs remained low - transmission of MDRO wasn't a controlled outcome, but illustrates the importance of adherence in the debate about whether (or not) CP are effective https://t.co/qB5xgQfxBO @jhieditor

“Thank you for washing your hands, wearing your mask, and following social distancing guidelines - even the smallest of actions can go a long way to helping prevent the spread of COVID-19."
