More than 425,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines have now been administered in Dorset.

Everyone over 50 can now book their vaccination in.

Case rates across Dorset remain at similar levels, with a slight fall in the case rate for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council area.

Case rates for both council areas are lower than the England average and around the same as the average for the South West.

Covid-related hospital admissions and deaths continue to fall.

From today (Monday 29 March) people can meet outdoors in groups of up to six people, or two households.

Outdoor sport facilities can reopen and formally organised outdoor sport can resume.

The advice is that people should continue to work from home where they can and minimise the number of journeys they make where possible.
