- COVID-19 | Chideock PC
Coronavirus (otherwise referred to as COVID-19) cases are now increasing in Dorset and the situation continues to develop CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION PAGE You will see from the news that Coronavirus (otherwise referred to as COVID-19) cases are now increasing in Dorset and the situation continues to develop. It is timely, now, for us to consider what we can do to minimise risk and to help others as the virus starts to make an impact here in our communities. The single most important thing you can do is to wash your hands on a regular basis, using soap and hot water for at least twenty seconds; especially after sneezing, coughing or travelling and before handling or eating food. This will be a marathon, not a sprint, and we need to think about how we sustain ourselves, our families and our neighbours during this period – probably well into the summer. Now is also critically the time for social distancing and to stay at home if you think that you or a member of your family are displaying symptoms of coronavirus, or have possibly been exposed to the virus. Call 111 or visit https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19 but do not go to your local GP surgery, community pharmacy or Hospital A&E. People unable to work for more than seven days because of coronavirus (COVID-19) can obtain an isolation note through a new online service . The Government’s exact response will be tailored to the nature, scale and location of further cases, including here in Dorset. The parish council have created this page to help signpost relevant government and NHS updates, along with some links you may find useful. A slightly slimmed down version is available at https://www.bridport-tc.gov.uk/contact-information-for-organisations-in-bridport If people are still stuck, then Bridport Town Council is working with several Facebook groups who are mobilising volunteers to help. If people are in a vunerable situation, and need food, several organisations, Cupboard Love, Community Fridge, Beacon Soup Kitchen, are trying to sort a plan out where they can co-ordinate and send food via volunteers to people.
