We are entering what may be a critical week in efforts to stem the second virus wave.

The first wave was beginning to peak at week 43 (beginning of May) in York. The largest 7 day average (29 cases) occurred on 5th May, when the country was still in lockdown.

We are now entering week 43 of the second wave. Any signs that the growth in case numbers is tailing off would be welcome news.
