A GUIDE to the Government’s main rules and guidelines to follow during lockdown 3 has been published.

Bradford Council has today tweeted an easy read version of the rules for the lockdown which all of its district residents and people across the country must follow.

Leaving home: 

  • You must only leave your home to: Go shopping for things you really need like food or medicine.
  • Go to work if you cannot work from home. This could be because you are a nurse, police officer, care worker and others.
  • To exercise outside once a day. You must only do this with people you live with or one other person that you don’t live with.
  • To meet your support bubble.
  • To get medical help like going to a doctor or hospital appointment that you really need to.
  • To stay safe from harm like domestic abuse.

 

  • To go to school or childcare if you are allowed to.
  • Meeting others You must not leave your home to meet with people you do not live with.
  • You must not go to anyone’s house or have anyone in your house who does not live with you.
  • You can still have your support bubble if you are allowed to.
  • You can find out about support bubbles by looking on our website: www.btm.org.uk If you have a health condition that could make you very ill if you catch coronavirus you should stay at home as much as possible.
  • This is called being extremely clinically vulnerable.
  • You should not go to the shops or any other public places where there might be lots of other people.

If you need help or support with things like food shopping or picking up medicines, go to nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk

If you need support a bit quicker and you live in the Bradford district please call 01274 431000

The Council’s team can take your call Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm.

Bradford Council says it can help with things like:

  • Helping if you feel lonely.
  • Getting you a supermarket delivery slot.
  • Putting you in touch with a food bank.
  • Referring you for help with any benefits you might be able to get or for advice about money.
  • Dog walking if you can’t leave your home.

The main symptoms of coronavirus are a new cough, a high temperature and loss of taste or smell.

If you get these symptoms you should stay at home and get a test as soon as possible. You can get a test at gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test Remember you must still wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds.

This is as long as singing the happy birthday song twice.

Stay 2 metres or 3 large steps away from people.

Wear a face covering in shops, supermarkets, on public transport and any other indoor spaces.
