If you have downloaded the NHS Covid-19 app, you will have seen that this morning the Covid alert level in Babergh was raised to medium. Public Health England have placed East and West Suffolk on an East of England watchlist. Although our absolute levels in this region are much lower than those making the national news, it’s a timely reminder that in this area we are also experiencing rising levels of infection.

This Suffolk County Council article explains more and also reminds us of the current regulations.

If you haven’t already done so, please download to your smartphone the Covid Symptom reporting app and the more recent NHS Covid Tracking app. Both serve important but different purposes, so both should be downloaded. They are available on the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play Store for Android devices.

In all that you do, stay safe.
