Huge Jump In Confirmed Isle Of Wight Coronavirus Cases

There has been a huge rise in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases on the Isle of Wight. Official figures show that 122 people now have the illness here. That figure had stood at 107. The number increase is likely to be connected with the ability to be tested on the Isle of Wight at the mobile test centre - which will become a fixed site next week (Monday). Earlier today (Friday), Isle of Wight Radio reported a rise in the number of coronavirus-related hospital deaths here. Read more here. A further person with COVID-19 has now passed, bringing the official figure to 26. As of Monday, the mobile coronavirus testing facility here will become permanent, as previously reported.  Do not leave your home if you have coronavirus symptoms Do not leave your home if you have either: a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature) a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual) To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home. Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.
