Health bosses in Lincolnshire say the number of coronavirus cases in the county seem to be dropping slowly.

Public health bosses in Lincolnshire believe we may have "turned a corner" in the battle to bring Covid 19 cases down in the county.

There have been major concerns with the numbers being above the national average.

Currently there continues to be high levels but some evidence the situation is improving.

Figures show a drop from a spike around ten days ago.

However there's a warning not to be complacent.

Despite the drop case numbers are still higher than most places in the UK.

There has been a lot of variation across the county with some areas having low numbers whilst Lincoln has had the highest.

As has been the case across the country the younger age groups are the most likely to be infected.

We spoke to Natalie Liddell from Public Health Lincolnshire.

She says figures yesterday saw the England average at 306 cases per hundred thousand people.

In Lincolnshire the figure is 353, which is still a concern despite being a little lower than was previous was the situation.

However she says things seem to be going in the right direction.

Natalie says it may be because the county tends to lag behind other parts of the country with a delayed reaction.

Also the impact of restriction may have played a part.

A number of measures have been brought in to try and get rates in the county down.

They include working with night time businesses to push personal responsibility when people are out and about.

There's also been an increase in access to testing.

That's been targeted at young people with some available in shops.

There's also been a "roving" facility.

And there's been heavy promotion to try and get more people vaccinated.

There's even been a shuttle bus to take some to a vaccination centre.

It's being stressed there's still some way to go but at least there's been progress.
