New COVID cases not slowing down in Lincolnshire
The number of COVID cases in Lincolnshire continue to rise. According to a fresh report, the number of new COVID cases in Greater Lincolnshire today are the highest in 11 months.
This is worrying news for people living and working in Spalding, Boston, Skegness, Scunthorpe, and the rest of Lincolnshire.
After a new report which criticised the UK’s early response to COVID outbreak, it seems the Government are still not learning from their mistakes.
Cases around the UK continue to rise, and today (12th October) in Greater Lincolnshire 863 new COVID cases were reported.
That is 42.1% increase compared to last week, where there were 607 new COVID cases.
Yesterday, we reported 730 new cases of coronavirus in Greater Lincolnshire with 553 in Lincolnshire, 75 in North East Lincolnshire and 102 in North Lincolnshire. These numbers show the pandemic is far from over.
It is hoped with the child vaccination rollout in schools the number of COVID cases will start to reduce. But some experts believe the number of cases will continue to rise until more people get their first and second vaccination.
The latest COVID stats for Lincolnshire are:
730 new cases of coronavirus in Greater Lincolnshire. 669 of those cases were in Lincolnshire, and 84 in North East Lincolnshire and 110 in North Lincolnshire.
There were sadly three COVID deaths in Greater Lincolnshire with two of those in Lincolnshire and one of those in North Lincolnshire.
The number of new cases in the UK rose by 38,520, while the number of people have had died of COVID increase by 181.
