Covid-19 Update 8th April 2021
Good evening.
Our latest update includes information about the vaccine rollout following yesterday’s announcement. We also have more information as the city prepares for Monday 12 April and the return of retail, leisure and hospitality together with resources to encourage people to stay active and healthy.
Vaccines
We wanted to share the latest details following the updated advice issued yesterday by the JCVI and MHRA on the vaccination roll out. There are more communications including a leaflet you can share, attached and linked at the bottom of this article.
The new advice, concluded there is a possible link between COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca and extremely rare, unlikely to occur blood clots. The benefits of vaccination continue to outweigh any risks but the MHRA advises careful consideration be given to people who are at higher risk of specific types of blood clots because of their medical condition. Here is an abridged version of the statement from the JCVI.

NHS COVID-19 app updatesTo coincide with the offer of free rapid testing for everyone, there will be updates to the NHS COVID-19 app in England from 8 April:
Everyone in a group must check in
In line with new regulations, when a group enters a hospitality venue, every individual must check either by scanning the official NHS QR code poster with the NHS COVID-19 app, or by providing their contact details. Previously, only the lead member of the group needed to provide contact details to check in.
Venue history sharing
If an app user tests positive, they will be asked to share their venue history in a privacy-protecting way via the app. This will allow venue alerts to be generated more quickly, and improve the ability to identify where outbreaks are occurring and take steps to prevent the virus spreading.
Additional venue alerts
If a person has been at a venue on the same day as several other people who have since tested positive for COVID-19, they may receive an alert advising them to book a test immediately, whether they are showing symptoms or not. This is to support finding asymptomatic cases who may have caught the virus but are not displaying symptoms.
New QR code posters
There will be new posters displaying QR codes for hospitality venues in England. Work has taken place with the industry to make the posters clearer and easier to use. All venues in England in scope of the regulations are legally required to display an official NHS QR code poster. Read the FAQs on who needs to display a poster
These changes mean:
From Monday 12 April, venues in hospitality, the tourism and leisure industry, close contact services, community centres and village halls must:
communications are available on the Coronavirus resource centre and social media copy for sharing is attached.

Keeping fit to keep up with lockdown lifting
Are you looking forward to walking more and further? Enjoying the shops or restarting activities with friends again? Getting the garden in shape?
Staying active is one of the best things we can do getting the most out of life. It’s easiest to maintain rather than build your fitness, although that is easily possible!
Our bodies are made to move – at whatever age. So by moving more each day in ways that work for you - and in line with any medical advice - you’ll help maintain your muscles’ condition for better strength, balance and overall health.
The secret to keeping fit is to use every opportunity to be active. So work simple things into every action like standing tall, carrying small weights between rooms, stretching out or trying chair-based exercises when you’re sitting. Depending on your health, you may want to gradually do them more often and more intensely.
Here are some ideas, tips and videos to help you exercise safely and for free:

The benefits of vaccination continue to outweigh any risks but the MHRA advises careful consideration be given to people who are at higher risk of specific types of blood clots because of their medical condition. Here is an abridged version of the statement from the JCVI.
- Since the start of the pandemic over 4 million COVID-19 infections have been confirmed in the UK causing more than 120,000 deaths. Over 30 million people have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine since the start of the programme, which Public Health England (PHE) estimate has prevented at least 6,000 deaths in the first 3 months of 2021.
- There have been reports of an extremely rare adverse event of blood clots and low platelet count following vaccination with the first dose of (the) AstraZeneca vaccine.
- …the benefits of prompt vaccination with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine far outweigh the risk of adverse events for individuals 30 years and over and those who have underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease
- ...it is preferable for adults under 30, without underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease, to be offered an alternative COVID-19 vaccine, if available.
- All those who have received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine should continue to be offered a second dose of the same vaccine, irrespective of age.

- ask every customer or visitor (over the age of 16) to provide their name and contact details
- keep a record of all staff working on their premises and shift times on a given day and their contact details
- keep these records of customers, visitors and staff for 21 days and provide data to NHS Test and Trace if requested
- display an official NHS QR code poster so that customers and visitors can ‘check in’ using the NHS COVID-19 app as an alternative to providing their contact details
- adhere to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
