WE are giving you updates on the Covid-19 situation in Harlow as the needs arise.

We are doing this because we want to give Harlow residents an accurate picture of where we are re Covid-19.

From January 31st, we are providing a weekly report.

It is by no mean perfect but it gives you, we believe, a fair picture of the situation.

The report covers UK figures; Princess Alexandra Hospital figures; the Local Authority table which gives Harlow’s position out of 315 local authorities, as well as rate per thousand and the number of cases.

We have a dedicated Covid-19 channel which has over 1200 stories.
