  A plea to respect each other, getting help if you need it over Easter and a thank you to those who care

  Published: 1 April 2021

  Just days ahead of a long Easter weekend, this easing seems a natural opportunity for people to get together outdoors. We all no doubt want to catch up with others this weekend, and the relaxation of restrictions now allows up to six people, or two households of any size, to meet up outside – in the garden for example – while adhering to social distancing and good hand hygiene. But please let’s be cautious, otherwise we place ourselves, our families and friends at risk.

  If you’re eligible then get your vaccination now, Devon’s decline in positive COVID-19 cases slows, more people can access rapid tests and a warning to visitors

  Published: 25 March 2021

  In just a few days, if the current national data supports it, England will see the latest easing of COVID-19 restrictions. This week Steve Brown, Director of Public Health Devon, said that we are all going to have to learn to live safely with COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and that a key part of that is for us to keep the infection rates as low as possible. He also urged people who are not showing symptoms of coronavirus and are in contact with others, especially families or households with school or college age students, to take up regular testing.
