Happy 72nd Birthday to our NHS
**A message from City Council Deputy Leader Cllr Sally Longford:**
sally longford
This weekend marks the 72nd birthday of our NHS and this year has shown everyone just how essential the NHS is. Like so many other people I was proud to join my neighbours and take part in the Thursday Clap for Carers where we applauded all who work in the care sector. We marked the occasions by lighting up the Council House and the Little John Bell rang out across Nottingham.
It cannot be underestimated just how essential NHS staff and care workers have been during this time and though they certainly deserve much more then warm words and gestures, I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all NHS staff and Carers in Nottingham who have helped our city during this crisis.
At 5pm on Sunday 5 July, there will be a one-off clap for carers giving us all another opportunity to thank care workers and show our appreciation for the NHS.

*Controlling Covid-19 in Nottingham *
Supporting local businesses
I really welcome the recent publication of the Pillar two data for Covid-19 infections, this gives local areas a much clearer idea of where small outbreaks are taking place so that any emerging issues can be quickly picked up and responded to appropriately and in a targeted way. The data shows that the rate of infection in Nottingham remains low at present which is testament to the effort from local people who have acted so responsibly and adhered to Government guidance.
The news of a localised lockdown in Leicester has shown that we cannot be complacent and that the virus could easily increase in our city. Of course we are pleased to see many local business reopen and further leisure opportunities being made available but it is essential that we all take individual responsibility here and consider how our actions could help or hinder controlling the virus locally.

*City prepares a cautious welcome as pubs and other businesses reopen this weekend*
Pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes reopen in Nottingham from 4 July 2020
Pubs and restaurants and other hospitality services can start to re-open from tomorrow and Nottingham venues are preparing to welcome back their customers. We have worked with the Nottingham BID and local businesses to ensure that they can open safely this weekend.
New arrangements are in place such as signs reminding people to keep their distance, keep left on pavements and pedestrianised areas, and to wear a face covering on all public transport and in enclosed public spaces.
There will be a phased opening of pubs and bars, with many requiring customers to pre book prior to arrival. Capacity at many venues will be limited so it will not be business as usual for some time. Visit City Prepares for a Cautious Welcome [ [link removed] ] for further information on how to enjoy the city safely. If you go out this weekend please remember to:
* Keep your distance from people outside your household
* Keep your hands and face as clean as possible
* Wear face coverings when on public transport
* Do not leave home if you or someone you live with has symptoms.
