Sefton Council, along with local authorities across Merseyside, is calling for members of the public to remain vigilant and continue to stay home as much as possible, in light of national changes to the UK’s Coronavirus response.
The move comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced an easing of the UK lockdown, due to the nation’s ‘R value’ (the reproductive number or rate of infection of the virus) dropping below one transmission per COVID-19 case.
According to data gathered by Merseyside Resilience Forum’s (MRF) Intelligence cell, this is not the case for the Merseyside region which has a significantly higher death rate than England and the rest of the North West.
Serena Kennedy, Chair of Merseyside Resilience Forum, said: “Local authorities across the MRF are united in this call for the public and partners to continue to follow the stay at home guidance, as much as is possible.
“While infections and deaths are reducing, it appears that we are not coming down the other side of the epidemic curve as fast as other areas and regions.
“Easing of lockdown does not mean that we are through the worst of this and as ever, the health and safety of our communities comes first.
“Right now, we need to do more than stay alert, we must all continue to stay at home where possible and do our bit to reduce the spread of Coronavirus, together.”
The latest Government guidance states that everyone must:

• Stay at home as much as possible
• Work from home if you can
• Limit contact with other people
• Keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
• Wash your hands regularly
• Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms

Cllr Ian Maher, Leader of Sefton Council, said: “I am urging all Sefton residents to continue to follow the national guidance and stay at home wherever possible.
“Some people may interpret the relaxing of measures to mean things are going back to normal.
“In the ‘new normal’, we must continue to stay at home as much as possible, to keep our distance from others when out and about and, if we show any symptoms of Coronavirus, we must self-isolate.
“I’d like to thank all of you for your continued efforts to reduce the spread of the virus, which I know have come at great physical, emotional and financial cost for many. We must continue to stay strong with these measures to ensure that our most vulnerable are protected.”

Are you a trump advisor? Same sort of mentality. Idiot.

Hmm what's another word for vigilant ?

keeping careful watch for possible dangers,

I know alert,

the state of being watchful for possible danger.

Definition of watching-look at or observe attentively over a period of time.
Please explain how I look at or observe something that’s invisible?

Hong Kong flu 1968/9 killed around 80,000 in the UK, Flu in 1999/20 48,000, 2014/15 44,000. I've never a known personally or from official records which the stats are from of any bad respiratory, epidemic or pandemic where lives have NOT been lost. The severity is never know until the outbreak is over.

Apart from many of the accepted washing of hands, keep apart where possible etc etc all tried with Covid 19 the only thing we have done differently is trash the economy.

There is no repeat no empirical evidence from any country to say the lockdowns have made any impact on the spread of the virus. Various epidemiologists, other than the ******** Pantsdown Ferguson, say Covid has just progressed like any other respiratory infection, around 70 days and it goes out of the population.

It took this country 61 years to pay the debt off for WW2 .

How long for this political balls up????

And has the propaganda takes a different turn over the next few weeks, if the link works have a look at the wording especially in BOLD and the summary at the back of this SAGE document!!!! George Orwell come on down.

Try looking at an interview with Michael Levitt Nobel Prize winner 2013: instead of what Business Insider??? You'll have to do better than that??? Or simply just look at Sweden not hard to interpret.

Sweden did not go into lockdown. So are you saying that if we hadn’t gone into lockdown, we’d have fewer deaths and infections than our current statistics? If so, your logic fails when we look at New Zealand. Early and very strict lockdown, and the last time I checked they had 21 deaths. Lockdowns aren’t the be all and end all regarding the spread of a virus. But if it’s done early enough it’s an essential tool in reducing spread of infection. One of the many mistake this shower of a government made was leaving it so long before placing us in lockdown.
