    Responding to our weekly surveillance report, our Medical Director, Dr Yvonne Doyle, emphasises the importance of limiting social contacts and following the 'hands, face, space, fresh air' guidance ahead of the lifting of some restrictions on Monday:

    Quote reads: On Monday more restrictions will lift, but don’t jump the gun this weekend. Every day that we limit mixing is another day that we help reduce infections. Only socialise in groups of six or in two households outside, remember ‘hands, face, space, fresh air’ even when the next restrictions ease and accept the vaccine when offered.

    As restrictions gradually lift, our Medical Director, Yvonne Doyle, urges everyone to continue to follow the rules and observe the Hands, Face, Space, Fresh Air guidance:

    Quote: We all have a part to play in keeping our families and communities safe. This week is a special occasion for many families as they come together to celebrate Eid, but we are asking communities to take care. If you plan to meet with family and friends, do it outdoors, and in a group of no more than 6 people or 2 households. It will save lives. As we continue to monitor new variants, remember that the best way to protect against the virus is to continue following the public health advice in your area. Take a test, get your vaccine when offered, and practice hands, face, space and fresh air.

    I'm delighted the latest REACT-1 study shows that coronavirus infections have fallen to 1 in 1000 in England. This shows that we’re making real progress against the virus. When you get the call, get the jab.

    Congratulations to our Medical Director Prof Yvonne Doyle, who's been elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (). Yvonne's one of 50 new Fellows selected for their exceptional contributions to the advancement of medical science:

    Quote from Yvonne Doyle, Medical Director and Director for Health Protection at PHE: "“I am honoured to be elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. As a leader in the healthcare sector, it is important to me that learning from research is used to address people’s health disadvantage. The Academy is in a unique position to bring lots of disciplines together to solve the most difficult health challenges. Reducing health inequality could not be more important at this time. COVID-19 has taken a high toll on some of the world’s most vulnerable people and has severely tested scientific and health leadership. It is a privilege and a challenge in equal measure to be at the epicentre of biomedical science in these times. I have been fortunate to work with great scientific and medical leaders through the Academy in the past – together we can help the populations and patients we serve to recover now and in the future.”
