Help us to stop the spread of Covid-19
Our Director of Public Health, Jonathan Gribbin, is urging everyone to play their part and stick with the guidance. Over the last few weeks the cases of Covid-19 are increasing across both the county and city and health chiefs are calling for people to help stop the spread of the virus.
As well as frequent hand washing, social distancing, self-isolating and getting a test if you have symptoms, people need to remember to follow the guidance when getting together in their homes – only two households can meet indoors.
People who have to car share for work should also take extra care, like sticking with the same group of people each time, wearing a face covering , opening the windows for ventilation and cleaning the car surfaces that people touch after each journey.
A new fund aimed at supporting Notts residents who are struggling to afford food and other essentials due to the economic impact caused by COVID-19 is now open to established groups and organisations already helping communities through the crisis.
Our council has been allocated a £858k share of the Government emergency funding aimed at helping local families who are struggling financially since the outbreak.
Local groups, charities and other organisations working to get food and other essentials to those who need it the most can apply now.

Walking and cycling for safer travel is recommended by the Government however, where this is not possible, you can use public transport or drive. When it comes to car sharing with people outside of your 'bubble', there are new government guidelines to follow to help control the spread of coronavirus.
