Covid Safety Pledge week of action

A Covid Safety Pledge week of action stressed why it is important to carry on mitigating and preventing Covid infections. The pledge makes clear that coronavirus has not gone away, we are still discovering the full extent of the impact of long Covid, and there is no guarantee that future strains of the virus will be milder. Organisations signing up to the pledge commit to protecting workers, service users and customers from Covid-19, carrying out risk assessments to ensure workplaces safeguard against the spread of infection, and supporting workers with Covid to stay at home.
