Director of Public Health, Greg Fell
Greg Fell, Director of Public Health in Sheffield, outlines Sheffield's weekly position with the latest epidemiology and, with Tramlines going ahead later this month, he goes through the requirements for safely attending this year.
Drive through blood taking service
If you have been invited to attend the drive-through blood service, please note that it has moved to City Parkway, Parkway Avenue, Sheffield.
Fresh air circulating in the home is as important as hand washing, face coverings and social distancing to help reduce the spread of the virus.
Open windows regularly to let fresh air circulate at home.
Work and businesses
And if you are using any close contact business such as getting a haircut, a massage, a tattoo – businesses should also be aware of the importance of good ventilation. It might mean a drafty haircut, but it also means a safer one.
