Living with Covid 19 guidance - April 2022
The government is removing domestic restrictions in England in relation to Covid 19.
Public libraries are directed to the advice published by the UK Health Security Agency: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/coronavirus-covid-19-list-of-guidance.
Libraries should continue to make risk assessments in line with their local circumstances and to consider the needs of any vulnerable staff, volunteers and users.
