Following the easing of restrictions earlier this week, Sefton Council’s Director of Public Health, Margaret Jones, has shared her advice for how people can stay safe when meeting with others outdoors in a series of new videos.
With better weather and better days ahead, the Council is looking forward to more people being able to spend time in its parks and greenspaces as well as at the Sefton coast, but is urging everyone to be cautious and responsible.
Covid-19 measures remain in place even when getting outdoors and people are asked to ‘stay local’ at this early stage of restrictions easing.
How to stay safe when meeting with others outdoors
- Remember to socially distance
- Don’t share equipment (sports or picnic items)
- Only those in your household or bubble in your car
- Wear masks properly – covering your mouth and nose – if using public transport
- Stay local as we’re only at the early stages of coming out of lockdown
Making outdoor plans for this Easter weekend or school holidays – stay local
Be considerate to others, stay local and minimise travel.
Covid-19 testing
With lots of people making plans to see friends and family outdoors this Easter – a reminder about getting tested for Covid-19.
