We know that many NHS trusts, for example, are asking their staff not to mix in big groups in the run-up to Christmas because of the potential threat to their health and what they will be available to do. So they are setting one example there.
I think, at the moment, without that advice from government, I think it’s for individuals and individual organisations to think about what they will be doing in the run-up to Christmas. But it’s a really challenging and difficult one.
The thing we can encourage everyone to do is to go out and get their booster when it’s made available to them ,and to book in for that because that’s one of the best defences that we’ve got alongside wearing masks, washing your hands and also making sure you’re in ventilated rooms. Those are really, really important factors which will help stop the transmission.
