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 provided a weekly report.

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

We appreciate that since April 2022, the actual number of cases may be (vastly) under-reported to say the least but having published over 1500 stories in Covid-19 since much 2020 this is very much part of the narrative.

The report covers UK figures; Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH) 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 also have to bear in mind that Harlow only counts for 40% of patients at PAH.

We have a dedicated Covid-19 channel which has over 1500 stories.
