Coronavirus: Latest Support Info From Council

Message To Clinically Vulnerable

Calderdale Council has written to everyone in Calderdale who has been identified as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) to make sure they know where to go if they need any advice and support. If you have been told by the NHS that you are clinically extremely vulnerable you need to take extra care to avoid coming into contact with COVID-19 by staying at home except for exercise or essential medical appointments.

If you do need support, and can’t rely on family and friends, we can help in a number of ways such as collecting or dropping off shopping or medication, walking your dog, posting mail or just offering a friendly phone call. If you know anybody who is CEV, please pass on this information.

You can ask for support from the Council at calderdale.gov.uk/request-support or get more information at calderdale.gov.uk/cev

You can also contact the government online for help at gov.uk/coronavirus-shielding-support

If you need this help over the telephone, please call : 01422 392890

Stop The Spread Message

Please view the following important message from Calderdale Council about controlling the spread of coronavirus.

We all need to play our part in reducing the spread of the virus. There are three big things that we can all do to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities:

  • Limit contact with other people to the absolute minimum
  • Wear a face covering if we have to go indoors where there are other people we don’t live with, such as when food shopping
  • Stay at home without visitors and complete the full isolation period if we have symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test result, or if we have been in contact with someone who has

If you need more information or support to isolate, please visit www.calderdale.gov.uk/coronavirus.
