Following the announcement that Cambridgeshire has been designated an “Enhanced Response Area” for extra measures to fight the pandemic, Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner said:

“I have expressed strong support for the calls from the Cambridgeshire Director of Public Health for additional powers in recent weeks so I welcome this news. There are clearly starkly increasing pressures on our NHS and winter is coming. I urge everyone who is eligible to get their vaccines and booster jabs and to please wear a face mask when indoors in places like shops. The killer virus has not gone away so let’s take all the precautions we can.”
