Is anyone else in a low covid area currently?

[Magicstars89]

I’m in an area of West Yorkshire that has been hit hard several times.
I’m pretty sure we will be again with omicron at some point, but currently our rates are low and falling.

I know London and the South East have it bad as I have family there.

Just wondering if anyone else is in a low incidence area atm? Feels a bit eerie, like the calm before the storm.

I actually have no idea what the figures are where I am.

I’m in West Yorkshire too @Magicstars89 - in a council that was battered with covid, we’ve been consistently in the top 10 worse areas throughout.

Now it’s very quiet, low numbers, no real disruption, no cancelled nativities at school, very few cases in school at all. Booster clinics are doing really well here, they are doing 1500 a day or more and we have several large walk in centres dotted around. I’m 34 & got mine done last week no bother!

But this happened before. The new variant started in the south & then moved north. We then had high levels while it started to fall everywhere else! So I’m sure the next wave will be along shortly! Then they’ll probably stick us some tier with additional restrictions like they did last year 🙄

Same here.

Me, we had no reported cases for some time last year, turns out we were about 3 weeks behind the rest of the UK.

Its still pretty low here. I have 6 dc going to 2 jobs, college, nursery and 2 different schools and none of us have had it.... yet.

Opposite here. South East but was never in a high tier apart from national lockdowns. Cases currently 50% higher than the highest peak at Christmas last year and worried how high it will get.

Over half the class at DC primary off with it. Interesting none confirmed as Omicron variant (I presume or class would have to isolate) but sounds v contagious to me in the primary school ages where no bubbling, vaccinations etc. are so very little mitigation.

Low here since the start with a surge of elderly deaths Before the vaccine lockdowns retirement area, and a surge of cases July August height of tourists season. We get around 50 cases a day and average under 6 deaths a week across the whole health board.

No idea tbh I live in Bolton ,twice we have had the dubious pleasure of having the highest rates in the UK ,but I think our rates did go down for a few months
London is a densely populated capital city it's no wonder they seem to bear the brunt of the start of the waves .

I was but it turned round yesterday! Still well below average but I am guessing the turnaround was due to omicron.
It has been very difficult to get jabs here recently, 12 yo ds still isn’t (cancelled twice at school, they say ‘go to a walk in centre’ but there have been none in the entire county showing as doing 12 yos). So I suppose it will rip through when it comes.

Yes, we were battered consistently here in the West Mids. My sons had 70 and 50 days consecutively each of isolations last autumn and nearly everyone we know has had Covid.
School was disrupted considerably, but touch wood, the rates are lower than elsewhere.

BBC look up tool here...

I can find places above avg (Stockport, London, Colchester) but almost everywhere else is at least 400 cases/100k persons. Very average in Norfolk.
