North Lincolnshire Council is today launching a downloadable Personal Covid-Secure Plan – designed to help people put in place measures to stop the spread of Covid-19. Council leader Rob Waltham has become the first to complete the plan. You can download your Personal Covid Secure Plan here. The handy guide looks at your own personal protection, what you should be doing to help family and friends and how you plan to avoid contracting the virus when going to and from work.

 Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Protecting the most vulnerable people has to be our priority and we do that by ensuring the spread of Covid-19 is contained.

 “Only if we have a plan can we properly combat Covid-19 – this means thinking carefully and in a detailed way about what measures we are taking; this includes ourselves, our family, friends and neighbours and while at work.

 “We have been working closely with businesses, care homes, schools and many other organisations to plan for preventing the spread and managing outbreaks. Now it is time for each person in North Lincolnshire to have their own plan.

 “All of this is avoidable, there are ways to stop the spread – we know hand washing, wearing face coverings and keeping a distance work. If people take just a few minutes to download this plan and spent a little more time discussing it with their family and filling it in then we can all better protect the most vulnerable people in North Lincolnshire.”
