Bucks Council have reminded residents its important to isolate for the full 10 days if you have tested positive for COVID-19.
They are making sure lots of help is on hand if you are not able to leave the house.
Practical, social and emotional support is available, this includes arranging for shopping to be delivered online, contacting the National Responders Service https://nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk/ for practical tasks and wellbeing and having your prescriptions delivered.
Buckinghamshire also has many local volunteer organisations and charities that can help.
You can search for more information in your local area through Bucks Online Directory: https://directory.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/
There is also additional support from Buckinghamshire Council’s Helping Hand service who can provide you with a range of support including emergency access to food and other essential supplies, signposting for financial difficulties such as paying for fuel and other bills and access to mental wellbeing services.
Councillor Angela Macpherson, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing added:
“Self-isolating for 10 days can be challenging, however it’s important that we all continue to do this and protect others. Alongside the national vaccination programme and regular rapid lateral flow testing, self-isolation remains an essential part of stopping the spread of virus. Self-isolation rules apply to everyone, unless you are exempt as per government guidance.”
