Stay safe and living with COVID

Over the summer COVID rates have risen so it is important that everyone takes personal responsibility for staying safe as we live with COVID.

Vaccination remains our best defence against COVID-19 and people are urged to get boosted now, with first and second jabs still available. More information can be found on the vaccination page on the NHS website.

Please show the Spirit of Salford, follow safer behaviours and protect others, especially the vulnerable.

To stay safe and protect others, follow recommended guidance:

• Wear face coverings in crowded public spaces
• Wash your hands regularly
• Meet outside rather than inside where possible and avoided crowded places
• Ventilate your home and open the windows in shared spaces
• Stay at home if you feel unwell
• Frequently clean surfaces and areas that are regularly touched 
• Get your COVID vaccination and follow up boosters when called - the vaccine reduces the risk of serious illness and death as well reducing the spread of the virus
• Check the arrangements at your workplace and in the places you visit as they may have specific infection control arrangements for the health and safety of staff and visitors
