“COVID-19 has had a huge impact on our individual lives and the whole of society. The last few months have demonstrated the joint resolve of our borough – with our essential workers, voluntary and community organisations, volunteers and residents all coming together to support and protect each other from the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19.

As restrictions continue to be eased, we should not forget that there is still a risk of further waves of the virus including potential local outbreaks. Like other local authorities across the country, the Lambeth Public Health team has developed a Lambeth Outbreak Control Plan which sets out how we all play our part in keeping everybody safe through preventing, preparing and responding to further localised outbreaks of the virus.

Due to COVID-19, we have not been able to have a physical Lambeth Country Show this year. However, we hope the online messages that we are providing will help us to continue to take action to stop the virus and be healthy.

Enjoy the summer and please keep safe and well. Do feel free to download these messages for yourselves and others – together we can keep Lambeth safe.”

Message from Ruth Hutt – Director of Public Health for Lambeth
