RDHS Engage: Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Latest Update : Thursday 10th September 2020

Following the government announcement yesterday with the update to the current COVID-19 guidelines, we have highlighted the key headlines below:

  • Rate of Infection is increasing rapidly at the same trajectory as France
  • This rate of infection is now UK wide and not isolated to particular areas
  • 20-29 age group has the most significant rate of infection, followed by 30-39 age group
  • 17-18 yr olds and 19-21 yr olds are showing a steep rise in cases and positive tests
  • Government stated ‘if we act quickly we can see the rate of infection come down quickly’ as shown in Belgium
  • 8 deaths today, with 1.2m tests carried out per week
  • Testing is being increased

Key Messages / Restrictions

  • Key messages on how to deal with transmission –  new Gov slogan ‘Hands – Face – Space’;
    • Wash hands for 20 secs as before
    • Wear a face covering if in enclosed space or with people we have not met before
    • Maintain social distance (2m or 1m + mitigation)
  • Simplifying rules to make them easier to understand
  • Only get an NHS Test if you have the following symptoms;
    • A high temperature / fever
    • A persistent cough
    • Loss of taste or small
  • Do not book a test if you do not have symptoms
  • Limit social contact and social interactions indoors and outdoors
  • Social gatherings above 6 people are banned, both indoors and outdoors
    • This includes in people’s homes, pubs, restaurants etc
    • This replaces the previous limit of meeting up to 30 people outdoors or 2 households
  • Fines will be applied against businesses that are not COVID-19 Secure
  • Enforcement to be increased with COVID-19 Marshalls to monitor social distancing
  • Hospitality sector to be mandated to take customer details

Exemptions

  • The exemptions are;
    • If you are already in a household bubble of more than 6 people
    • COVID-19 Secure Venues can still welcome more than 6 people, but individual groups cannot exceed 6 people
    • Education settings
    • Workplaces –  providing they are COVID-19 Secure

Forward Planning – this side of Christmas

  • Gov’ pursuing option of ‘mass testing’, which will increase testing with results in 20-90 mins
  • Could lead to reduced social distancing and lead to businesses being able to open further
  • Unclear how long restrictions will be in place for –  depends on rate of infection.
