Mword 78: Brace Brace

14 December 2020

Dear Colleague,

Brace Brace

The Health Secretary has just delivered a statement to Parliament:

New variant of Covid-19 virus in South East of the UK.
Doubling time is now 7 days.
Not known if these are linked.
Not just in children.
Over 60s also increasingly affected.
London and South East, South Essex, and other areas moved to Tier 3.
It is believed that the current vaccine is highly likely to continue to be effective.

All updates to our Londonwide LMCs guidance on vaccination and the Covid-19 Living Guide can be found all in one place at WWW.lmc.org.uk/covid19.

As ever I welcome your feedback at mword@lmc.org.uk, and know that my team of experts and leaders here at Londonwide LMCs will always be by your side.

Michelle

Dr Michelle Drage MBBS FRCGP

Chief Executive, Londonwide LMCs
