Covid-19 Update from City Of York Council
20th July 2021
Good evening,
Yesterday the country moved in to step 4. We have launched a new campaign asking people for their help as we take the next step. Our thanks go to partners who have supported and fed into this campaign.
We have attached some examples of the assets but the full suite is available at www.york.gov.uk/businesstoolkit - please share these messages as appropriate. More and more signage will be appearing across the city in the coming days.
As well as this, we have updates on a new testing centre in Rawcliffe with an asset you can share. With the sun shining and warm weather we have also shared some tips to stay safe in the sun, which we hope are helpful.
Step 4
Yesterday the country has moved to step 4 which sees the lifting of many legal restrictions. To support residents and businesses and following work with partners across the city, we have launched a campaign asking people to ‘protect, respect and be kind’ to each other as everyone adjusts following the lifting of national restrictions.
England has now moved to Step 4 of the Government’s roadmap, which has lifted most legal restrictions to control COVID-19. As we all adjust to this new way of living, resident and visitors are reminded to continue to be considerate of people around them who may be nervous at this time.
From yesterday, more businesses will be reopening across the city. To support this, the campaign also reiterates the message to remain patient and kind as our amazing business community continue to adapt to restriction changes and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Businesses and communities in York can now download the new ‘Protect, respect and be kind’ toolkit to support the campaign and encourage residents, customers and visitors to continue to be considerate of others. The toolkit is available at: https://www.york.gov.uk/BusinessToolkit. We have also attached a few assets, please share as appropriate.
Visit the gov.uk website to read the full list of changes in England for Step 4 of the roadmap.
New symptom-free testing site in Rawcliffe
As the country moves to Step 4 of the government’s roadmap, City of York Council is opening a new testing site in the city to help keep people safe, as well as continuing work in communities.
A new symptom-free testing centre is opening at the Pavilion of the Rawcliffe Recreation Association (off St Marks Grove). The site will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9.00am and 4.30pm and people will be able to get tested in person or to collect testing kits.
The new testing centre joins 5 other council run testing sites in the city. As the country moves to the next stage of the roadmap, city leaders are asking people to get regular symptom-free tests, so the virus isn’t spread unknowingly to friends and family.
How to get a testing kit in YorkYou can get tested or collect kits from one of our symptom-free testing sites, as well as being able to collect kits from chemists, or order kits online.
Symptom-free testing sitesThese are at; Acomb Explore Library, Foxwood Community Centre, Rawcliffe Recreation Association, St William’s College, University of York and York St John University
See details of all symptom-free testing sites and opening times.
Community symptom-free testingWe're expanding our community offer which has seen us hand out testing kits in communities across the city. Going door-to-door offering kits has enabled our staff to have conversations with local people about the importance of getting tested and vaccinated, and to share information about how to get more test kits.
In the coming weeks we will be in Heworth and Clifton and Rawcliffe. See details of streets we will be visiting in order to carry out community symptom-free testing.
As well as this work the council will be:
Or you can order coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid lateral flow tests for home delivery (GOV.UK).
