Locally, cases have risen again since last week and remain at very high levels. The South West region has recently seen very rapid growth in cases, however Dorset and BCP case rates are below both the South West and national average. There are some signs from the national data that regional and national cases are stabilising so we will continue to monitor this trend and assess the impact on our local situation. The number of people currently in hospital in Dorset with COVID-19 is 52. We know that our health and care system is extremely busy so we must do all we can to prevent any further increase in COVID-19 admissions.
