Covid positives in Harrow have substantially increased with vaccination take up lower than nationally (source), despite Harrow council’s repeated reminders.
As of 29 December 2021, 649 people are tested positive daily for the Coronavirus in Harrow, and 4,127 in the last 7 days (up by 31.9%).
To that date, total 47,493 people are tested positive, with 773 deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate.
While the Harrow council claims success in vaccination, 71.5% had the first dose (89.9% national), 65.1% had the second dose (82.3% N) and 45% had the booster (57% N).
Where can one get vaccinated in Harrow brings rather limited information compared with the neighbouring boroughs like Brent, an ongoing Harrow council weakness in general communication and community cohesion/interaction – many residents now feel that the council is hiding behind Covid and don’t respond to the public concerns, emails/telephones etc.
With such low level of confidence in the work of the council, no surprise that the council messages for the Covid preventive measures, including vaccination, are not getting through or not taken seriously, resulting in unrestricted socio-cultural mixing and gatherings, including at the confined indoors spaces, happily supported by the politicians in the council election year,
