PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

The situation with coronavirus is changing daily and we are committed to keeping residents updated regularly with essential information.

We will be publishing weekly updates here in the Camden New Journal, including changes to council services and information about the support available in the community through the Council and its partners.

I know this is a really unsettling and worrying time, so I want to update you on Camden Council’s plans to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

We are one community and we are determined no one is left alone to deal with this crisis. To do this we will need a whole community effort including the Council, our partners, voluntary, community and faith organisations, businesses and most importantly you, our residents.

It is now clear that the coronavirus pandemic is challenging us all in ways many of us have never experienced before. I know everyone will have worries and concerns – I feel these too – and we do not know exactly what the coming months will bring. But we can control what we do and the actions we take on a personal and collective level.

It is vital that we all remain within our homes and reduce social contact as much as possible to protect our own health, and particularly the health of the most vulnerable in our community. We can prevent the spread of this virus if we work together. Staying at home will save lives and protect our NHS.

This is going to be a tough period and things will change every day – but we can get through it by thinking of each other with every action, and taking care of our neighbours along with ourselves. Our communities make Camden – and together we can get through this.

Please look after yourselves and think of your neighbours – and please keep following the latest advice from the government and Public Health England.

Councillor Georgia Gould, Leader of Camden Council
