Stay home and stay safe this weekend
Coastguard volunteers have joined emergency
and frontline colleagues to highlight the importance of staying home this
weekend during the ongoing lockdown, as part of potentially life-saving
measures against the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Key workers from Kent #KentTogether have
united to put together a short video to remind everyone to follow the
Government’s advice by staying safe at home and only going out for essentials
trips. You can view this on our Facebook page (search for Maritime and Coastguard Agency).
This important message reaches far wider
than Kent’s borders and has no limits. So wherever you are in the country #StayHomeSaveLives
Assistant Director of the Coastguard
Pete Mizen said: “We continue to urge people to give the coast a miss at this
time, it will still be there waiting for you to enjoy when the crisis is over
and things begin to return to normal.
“If you are heading to the coast as part
of your daily exercise please stay local and stick to routes you know well.
“If you were to get yourself lost or
should suffer an injury it would put our emergency responders and their
families at risk of coronavirus and put additional pressure on the NHS.”
Stay at home to help stop the spread of
coronavirus. You must only leave your home for the following reasons:
·
to shop for basic
essentials – only when you really need to
·
to do one form of exercise
a day – such as a run, walk or cycle, alone or with other people you live
with
·
for any medical need –
for example, to visit a pharmacy or deliver essential supplies to a vulnerable
person
·
to travel to and from
work – but only where this is absolutely necessary
When you are out you should stay two
metres (six feet) away from other people.
