Somerset Public Health leaders urge caution and care as Covid restrictions ease
Public Health leaders in Somerset are urging people to proceed with caution and act responsibly as the country prepares for the easing of national Covid-19 restrictions.
From Monday 19 July, the majority of legal restrictions relating to Covid-19 will be lifted, but the risks of Covid-19 have not gone away.
Somerset’s Covid-19 Local Engagement Board and the NHS in Somerset are reminding residents that we all have a role to play in protecting vulnerable people and frontline workers as we move into this new phase.
Although case rates in Somerset are lower than the national average, case numbers of Covid-19 are still rising in the county and are expected to continue to rise for the time being.
