The Lincolnshire COVID-19 cases continue to rise with another 730 cases reported on Monday. The highest infected group according to the new report is 10-14 year olds.
Parents in Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Scunthorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire are being advised to have their children vaccinated.
The new 730 cases today is a worrying factor and one that should not be ignored. Compared to last Monday, the number of cases has risen by 23%. Last Monday the number of new COVID cases in Lincolnshire stood at 595.
