It’s been almost 3 months since we’ve learned about the breakout of a new, unidentified coronavirus disease (later named COVID-19) in Wuhan, China. Up to this day, over 128,000 people have been confirmed to be infected with it in over 120 countries all over the world. More than 68,000 have already recovered, but unfortunately over 4,600 people passed away. As of yesterday (11th March 2020), the WHO (World Health Organisation) has declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
As a care company providing services to the most vulnerable people in our communities, we’ve prepared this blog to pass on key information and advice from WHO and the UK Government to ensure that both our team, but also anyone else interested, stay safe during this dynamically changing situation. We’d also like to highlight that it’s important to remain calm and focus on prevention.
