Krishna Ramkhelawon, Southend’s director of public health, said: “Regular testing and reporting of your results is important because it helps to reduce infection rates across the Borough, protects those at higher risk of infection and prevents and reduces the spread of the virus. Please be mindful that close contact continues to carry a risk of catching or spreading COVID-19, and people must consider the risk to themselves and others. Some people are more vulnerable to Covid than others. As well as regular testing, continue to exercise caution and please continue to remember the hands, face, space, fresh air approach.”
The man in charge of handling the coronavirus pandemic in Southend is calling for caution ahead of the easing of lockdown.
Southend Council s director of health, Krishna Ramkhelawon, says close contact with others still carries a risk of spreading the virus and wants people in the borough to take it steady next week. From Monday, hugging and close contact will be permitted again, while households will also be allowed to mix indoors for the first time since mid- December. Other changes to the rules will mean restaurants and pubs can serve customers inside, while enterainment and leisure facilities can also reopen.
