Wirral residents are being asked to meet outdoors, get their jabs and stop the spread of Covid-19 as cases surge in the borough.
More than 2,000 infections were recorded in Wirral in the week up to March 12, a sharp rise of 62% from the week before. Hospitalisations are also up to 58, another major rise and the highest figure seen since January 31.
Julie Webster, Wirral’s director of public health, said: “The latest figures are a stark reminder that the pandemic is far from over, here in Wirral. Legal restrictions may have come to an end, but to keep our most vulnerable residents safe, I strongly urge everyone to do all they can to stop the spread.
