You can travel through other areas as part of a longer journey Councillor Natasa Pantelic, lead member for health and wellbeing, said: “Unfortunately cases in Slough, though coming down, are not dropping significantly or quickly enough putting Slough people at risk. “While this risk remains so high, I call on all residents to follow the lockdown rules until 2 December and then stick to the regulations of our new tier to protect themselves, their families and communities from what can be a devastating illness.” She added: “It is good news that cases are falling and that is a direct result of residents doing what they can and what needs to be done – whether that is wearing masks correctly, not mixing with people they don’t live with and isolating when necessary. “This shows the decisions each of us are taking are making a difference; so please continue to do all you can.” As of today (Thursday 26 November), Slough has 313.6 cases per 100,000 people, 218.8 cases per 100,000 in the over 60s and 328.6 cases per 100,000 in those aged 17-21.
