December Update

On Wednesday 8 December, the Government announced that England would move to Plan B in response to the risks of the Omicron variant.

This means:

face coverings are required by law in most indoor settings.
office workers who can work from home should do so.
certain venues and events will be required by law to check that all visitors aged 18 years or over are fully vaccinated, have proof of a negative test in the last 48 hours, or have an exemption.

Even if you are fully vaccinated, it is still possible to catch and spread Covid-19.
