Covid vaccine boosters are still available on the NHS but only until the end of June. BuDS very strongly recommends that everyone eligible takes up the offer. Even though Covid infection levels are low now, the booster will give you important protection against future Covid waves. (1/2)
In all other places, even big buildings like shopping centres or universities, you are now statistically unlikely to encounter a person with Covid on a single visit. (2/4)
Remember, these are only our recommendations, and everyone is free to choose the level of Covid precaution that feels right for them. We only advise on infection risk (how likely it is that you will meet someone with Covid), not on how serious a Covid infection might be for you. (4/4)
With Covid infection levels at historically very low levels, our advice remains that precautions against Covid are still necessary, but only in the highest-risk indoor places. These places include hospitals & medical buildings, on public transport, and in large indoor stadiums or theatres. (1/4)
This is BuDS’ 276th Covid risk assessment since the beginning of the pandemic, and we are still the only organisation publishing free risk data for disabled and Covid-cautious people. We will update you on the situation again next week.
If you are not eligible for the Covid vaccine booster on the NHS, BuDS recommends that you consider a private vaccination. (2/2)
Obviously, if you work or regularly visit one of these highest-risk indoor places, your risk of encountering a person with Covid is much higher, and you should take precautions accordingly. (3/4)
