Emergency Planning
The government's Living With COVID-19 response began in February 2022.
Adults and children who test positive are still advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
The Covid-19 vaccine has been rigorously tested to the highest safety standards and is continuously monitored for safety. It has been tested on tens of thousands of people across the world – men, women, people of different ethnicities and ages – as well as given to millions more.
Eligible people can book an appointment on the NHS website or by calling 119. Or you can also get a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from a walk-in site without an appointment. People can find their nearest walk-in sites on the NHS walk in webpage.
A reminder in line with government's living with COVID plan, in healthcare settings staff, patients, and visitors are still required to wear a face covering.
With the Government funded Covid Community Testing Programme ending in 2022, Notts local authorities are now funding a new programme of Health and Wellbeing Hubs until September.
Locations in new and many of the previous community testing sites will now host the hubs that will promote Health and Wellbeing messages on living safely with COVID, vaccine hesitancy, mental health, financial advice and signpost to the relevant professional services for counselling.
All the latest information on the site locations, dates and times.
Lateral flow tests continue to be available to buy from pharmacies and supermarkets and online.
Free tests for people who work in high risk settings, or who have Covid-19 symptoms and are at higher risk of serious illness, will continue to be provided.
The NHS are aware that some people are receiving suspicious calls and text messages offering the COVID-19 vaccination.
