Somerset Covid-19 Weekly Update 5 August 2021
05 August 2021

Please find attached this week’s Covid-19 update for Somerset on behalf of the Engagement Board.

Following an announcement made yesterday at a Downing Street press conference, 16 and 17 year olds will soon be invited to have their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. This is great news as the more people receiving the vaccination the better protected we all are.

The national media are also reporting the news we are unfortunately seeing a rise in the number of pregnant women with Covid-19, and nationally some pregnant women are being hospitalised. In part this is because vaccination rates in pregnancy remain low. In the vaccination section of the update we have included important information for pregnant women, and those breastfeeding or looking to become pregnant.

We are also reminding everyone of the need to use our local healthcare services wisely, as our hospitals and ambulance service have come under increasing pressure in recent weeks.

Somerset Covid-19 Weekly Update 29 July 2021
29 July 2021

Please find the week’s Covid-19 update for Somerset on behalf of the Engagement Board.

Here in Somerset the cases of Covid-19 are still high but, like the rest of the country, there has been a reduction of rates in the last week. It is too early to be sure why our cases are falling and it may not mean there is less virus circulating. We also know there are many cases of Long Covid now being reported nationwide and this is something which people need to be aware of.

To keep yourself and others safe you should get vaccinated, continue to participate in testing and self-isolate when required. Although it is no longer a legal requirement, we also recommend you wear a face covering, keep your distance, meet outdoors and ensure your indoor spaces are well ventilated.

With this in mind, we continue to urge caution, and encourage you to help us spread the message, ‘think twice, do the right thing and stay safe’.
