13/07/2020

Molescroft Parish Council, along with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, would like to remind and encourage residents to follow the 3 Steps to Safety process, in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our region. As a reminder, the 3 Steps To Safety are: Prevent. Notice. Act.

STEP 1: Prevent
•        Keep your distance – always follow the latest social distance guidance
•        Wash your hands - thoroughly washing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds remains the best personal hygiene precaution

STEP 2: Notice
•        Be aware of COVID-19 symptoms – so you can recognise as soon as possible if you or someone close to you has them:
               - a high temperature
               - a new, continuous cough
               - a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

STEP 3: Act
•        Get tested – If there is any hint of the symptoms in your household, make sure the person with the symptoms is tested as soon as possible
•        Stay home – Do the right thing if you and your household need to self-isolate
       - whether one of you has symptoms and you are waiting for the results
       - whether one of you has tested positive
       - or whether one of you has been in contact with someone who has tested positive)
