The government has removed domestic restrictions, but still suggest the following to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:

Get vaccinated.
Let fresh air in if you meet indoors, or meet outside.
Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces.

NHS have published 11 tips to cope with anxiety about getting “back to normal”.

The BBC continue to update a helpful summary of COVID-19 guidance and measures.

The government’s Living with COVID-19 plan is underpinned by vaccines and says it aims to protect people most vulnerable to COVID-19 and to maintain resilience.

Communities in the Wiveliscombe and 10 Parishes area have done a great job in helping people stay safe. Please continue to look after yourselves and others too.
