The UK is now in a national lockdown following the spike in Covid-19 cases. It is very important that everyone follows the government guidance in order to help stop the spread of the virus and the increasing pressure on the NHS.
In the past seven days, Cherwell district has seen rates between 900 and 1,000 per 100,000 people, which puts it in the top 50 coronavirus hotspots in England. All other parts of Oxfordshire show high rates compared to before Christmas. It is vital that we stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.
