 We’re urging visitors to council buildings to continue wearing a face covering.
Although Monday sees a lifting of most Covid restrictions in England, of course the pandemic isn’t over. Wearing a mask gives some extra protection from catching or passing on Covid-19 and we want to do all we can for the safety of visitors to our offices, libraries and other indoor public places.
Low infection rates will also help ensure we have the staff available to provide the public services you rely on.
 We know that some people with severe existing health conditions which make them especially vulnerable to Covid may want to take additional precautions to avoid infection.
It’s important that we all show respect and consideration for those who may want to be more cautious, even as restrictions are lifted.
If you are more vulnerable to the virus because of another health condition, you may like to see the Government’s advice which will take effect from Monday.
 The best virus protection is to get both first and second jabs as soon as you’re able and there are even more walk-in vaccine sessions in East Sussex over the next three days. You don’t need to book, just bring your NHS number if you know it.

Thank you to everyone in East Sussex who is continuing to do their bit to protect themselves and others. Some of us will welcome the lifting of restrictions after a tough 18 months, some of us will be anxious, and most of us will probably feel both emotions.
Vaccination, regular testing, isolation when potentially infectious, face-coverings and good hygiene all remain crucial. As we learn to live with the virus, let’s remember that the responsibility to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities lies with all of us.
