Coronavirus Update: Tuesday 5 January
Residents, businesses and schools in Staffordshire must now rally once again as the country is placed in Lockdown 3 to help prevent the NHS becoming overwhelmed by the new strain of Covid-19 this winter.
In an address to the nation on Monday 4 January 2021, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed the third lockdown, including the closure of schools to most pupils until the half term on February 15.
The key changes are:
- To go out for essential reasons only: Such as going to work if you can’t work from home, shopping for necessities, limited exercise and providing care
- Primary schools and secondary schools will move to remote learning for most pupils
- Summer exams will be suspended
- People who had previously shielded will be asked to do so again
