Roadmap out of Lockdown for England

A summary of the roadmap announced by the Prime Minister 22 February can be found here. From 12 April, ‘non-essential’ shops and businesses re-open and outdoor eating at restaurants & cafes is allowed. The next milestone is returning to indoor gatherings, 17 May.

Coronavirus Vaccine Rollout

Patients in ‘Vaccination Priority Groups’ who have not yet booked a vaccination appointment are invited to contact the NHS to arrange their COVID vaccination as soon as possible. The easiest way to do this is to use the online National Booking System at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination, which lets patients choose a time and location that suits them, or they can call 119 for free, between 7am and 11pm every day.
