The COVID-19 rate in Mansfield district is rising and it’s currently the second highest in the country.
Executive Mayor Andy Abrahams said: "Coronavirus can affect anyone. We all need to consider the risks, use common sense and follow the national guidance to keep ourselves, our family, friends and work colleagues safe. This includes regularly washing your hands or using hand sanitiser and wearing face coverings in crowded places.
"We strongly urge you to:
- take rapid tests regularly if you don’t have symptoms, as you can spread Covid without knowing
- if you do have symptoms self-isolate and book a PCR test as soon as possible
- meet with people outdoors wherever possible and if indoors, let fresh air into the room
"Locally, rates are high among those aged 18 to 22 and we’d strongly urge people in this age group to make informed decisions and act carefully to reduce transmission.
"We strongly recommend that adults of any age as well as young people aged 16 or 17 who have not yet been vaccinated get their jabs as soon as possible as this offers the best possible protection."
