A message from Professor Kevin Fenton, London Regional Director of Public Health
"We have reached another turning point in the progression of the virus in London. Case rates have been stable in recent weeks, although at a higher rate compared to October last year, and now they are starting to increase again.
"With winter rapidly approaching and the potential for more social mixing over half-term, it's important Londoners step up their action to prevent catching and spreading Covid.
"We must keep in mind that the virus is still circulating at high levels and increasing day-on-day. I would urge Londoners to get fully vaccinated without delay and get the all-important booster jab when offered. Get back to wearing face coverings in enclosed and crowded places especially on the tube and buses, wash your hands and test regularly, stay at home if you're unwell, and don't forget about good ventilation as it really does help."
