Harlow had been fluctuating between 4 and 20 from April 5th to the middle of June but its path since September can be documented above.

Figures from other areas suggest a high number of cases amongst children.

For quite a while, the hospitalisation figure was low and it has remained at between ten and twenty. It is an important figure to keep an eye on.

We may also have to consider the number of people attending Accident and Emergency which appears to be averaging at 300 people a day.

This all compares with the dark day of January 9th 2021, when Harlow had 1327 cases but 204 in hospital and sat third out of 315 local authorities.
