Christmas Party Season is upon us…
After a long hard year for many, the COVID team are keen for staff to celebrate the Christmas season with their friends, colleagues and loved ones, but with the awareness COVID-19 and the flu virus is still very much around us. It is important we continue to protect ourselves and our communities.
Gatherings of large groups having contact outside of work whilst they celebrate the festive season alongside large volumes of the public increases the risk of staff sickness and increase risk of staff – to -staff transmission in the workplace and its not just COVID-19 which we are at risk off.
There has been a well-publicised increase in other respiratory viruses including Flu, which was expected following two years of lockdowns and social distancing, and we would like you all to remain well and safe during the festive season.
The COVID team at EEAST advise the following:
Happy Christmas from us all at EEAST COVID Team.
