General / Sun 15th Aug 2021 at 09:01am

WITH release from lockdown now passed, we will do the Covid-19 report a few times a week.

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

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.
