Statement from Tessa Lindfield, director of public health for Berkshire. “The data published on 20 August 2020 by

“We are aware of this and are working to ensure that the numbers don’t increase further. We continue to monitor the data and want to remind residents that they still need to keep two metres apart as much as possible and wash their hands regularly, for 20 seconds or more.
“Anyone who has COVID-19 symptoms (a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste) must get a test as soon as possible and within the first five days of having symptoms. To get a test, visit:
