PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

The situation in Camden and London is incredibly serious right now. With the national lockdown in place until at least the middle of February, the most powerful action any of us can take is to stay at home.

Sadly, it’s likely to get worse before it gets better.

With the NHS close to breaking point, I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow public health advice and lockdown restrictions. Lives really do depend on it.

There is hope, however. It’s brilliant news that the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine has started in Camden.

While we’re very much at the beginning of the vaccination process, it will be crucial in helping to reduce illness, hospitalisations and deaths from COVID-19, and easing pressure on the NHS.

When you are eligible for the vaccine, the NHS will be in touch with you so please wait for them to contact you – and make sure you are registered with a GP.
