Coronavirus (COVID-19)
A message from Dr. Kathryn Cobain, Director for Public Health in Worcestershire 26 November 2020
We have been notified by the Government following the expiry of national restrictions on the Wednesday 2 December that Worcestershire will be placed in Tier Two.
I would like to thank you all for your continued hard work in helping to stop the spread of Covid-19. During these recent restrictions, we have seen some positive signs that Covid-19 cases are starting to stabilise in the county.
The tier we are in will be reviewed every two weeks so it is important that we keep these figures heading in the right direction. Therefore we need to continue to follow the measures in place to protect us all. We need to keep following the rules and keep building on the hard work we have done so far.
This is a real opportunity, to take control of the virus, get our figures down and reduce the risk of transmission, especially with Christmas around the corner. It is up to us all now to keep going with the good work, by social distancing, by wearing a face covering, by washing our hands regularly and limiting our contacts.
