Contingency plans are in place for the winter if Covid infection rates continue to rise, Medway's public health director has said.
James Williams said public health officials were tracking trends and Medway had already seen an increase. He said health workers planned daily for Covid but were also looking towards the winter season when there was more of a risk of respiratory viruses."We're clearly planning for Covid as we do daily, but we have clearly got contingency plans should there be an increase in prevalence in cases through the winter period," he said.
The public health chief said: "Our message is always to be cautious, to use sensible precautions when you're out and about, maintain the standard tools we've been trying to encourage folk to do, which is hand hygiene and - albeit people don't need to wear those things now legally - but face coverings will help to reduce the spread of the virus."The data tells us Covid infections are up across England.
For now, that is good news. But clinicians will be following case rates closely in case those numbers change significantly.
This SCAM is OVER!!!.
