We understand how overwhelming it must feel for many people right now, and we feel it is important to make sure everyone feels supported and connected as we work through these exceptional circumstances together.
We hope this information will help you plan and be ready should we, individually or collectively, be asked to take more action to slow down the spread of Covid -19.
Let’s Plan ahead together
Over the days and weeks ahead, we may be asked to:
Practice social distancing – this may involve urging people to reduce non-essential social activity and travel.
Looking ahead– are you ready?
Let’s think about what preparations you could put in place to help if you need to self-isolate?
Do you have friends or neighbours who could bring food, medicines or other essentials to your house or run errands?
Action: Do not delay – ask them now if they are able to support you. People really want to help, and we are all in this together.
Action: Check your cupboards to see what meals you can plan from what you have in stock.
Do you have access to online shopping?
Action: Spend a little time setting up online shopping accounts- ask for help to do this if you need it. Find out if friends or neighbours have online shopping accounts and make plans to call in orders to them if you need them
If you feel you are vulnerable to severe symptoms of coronavirus, have you considered the activities you have planned over the coming weeks?
Action: Take some time to list the activities that are essential and those which you could cancel if you needed to, especially those that require public transport.
Action: Take your health needs seriously; ask friends, neighbours or people you work with to check in on you by phone regularly.
Finally
PLEASE THINK OF OTHERS. Do you have friends, family or neighbours who might need extra help?
Action: Follow the steps above to help them be ready, feel supported, and connected.
Let’s take care of each other during these uniquely challenging times. We want to ensure everyone feels connected and supported, please let us know how we can be here for you.
Team TWFF 💛
