Covid-19 infections rates are rising across the country – including in Mansfield and its surrounding areas.

The rise in infections is speculated to be the cause of sub-variants of Omicron – which was discovered earlier in the year.

It’s currently unclear as to why cases of Covid-19 are rising in the UK again – however, as over three quarters of people in England are now triple vaccinated, it’s unlikely that we will face another major national lockdown.

Based on data recorded from between the weeks starting June 17 and June 25, cases of Covid-19 have risen by 46 per cent in Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood and Rushcliffe (collectively).
