Coronavirus (Covid -19)

Find out here an update on Age UK Salford Services

From Monday 12th April some of the rules of what you can and cannot do have changed.

You should still stay at home as much as possible. The Government is asking people to take the next steps safely and remember to wash hands, wear face-coverings (unless exempt), keep space between you and other people (2 metres) and stay outside when meeting other people not in your household. 

See the Government guidance and the latest from Salford Council website and Age UK

From 1st April, if you have been identified a clinically extremely vulnerable, you will no longer be advised to shield. However, you should continue to take precautions.
