Manner Borne Lockdown 2 Update
As we prepare for the second lockdown coming into force this Thursday, we at Manner Borne want to take a moment to update you on the procedures we have in place to ensure the safety of both our customers and our team. Following the announcement from the Prime Minister on Saturday, it has become clear that we must adapt our operations in line with the latest government COVID-19 guidance.
Understanding Lockdown 2
The government has implemented this second lockdown as a necessary measure to combat the rising cases of COVID-19 across the country. While it is undoubtedly a challenging time for everyone, it is crucial that we all do our part to protect ourselves and each other. The measures outlined in this update will help us navigate through these unprecedented times while prioritising health and safety.
Key Rules from the Government’s Lockdown 2 Announcement
To help you understand what this means for you and your interactions with Manner Borne, here’s a rundown of the key rules from the government’s announcement:
Travel Restrictions
One of the most significant changes during this lockdown is related to travel. The government advises that travel should be avoided both within and outside your local area unless absolutely necessary. Exceptions include:
- Travelling to Work: If your job cannot be performed from home.
- Education: Attending educational institutions.
- Caring Responsibilities: Providing care for those who need assistance.
- Medical Appointments: Visiting hospitals, GP surgeries, or other medical facilities if you have had an accident or are concerned about your health.
- Essential Retail Visits: Going to venues that remain open for essential retail.
- Exercise: Engaging in physical activity if it requires a short journey.
Weddings and Civil Partnerships
During this lockdown period, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies will not be permitted except in exceptional circumstances. This restriction aims to limit gatherings and reduce potential virus transmission.
Entertainment Venues Closure
All entertainment venues will close during this lockdown phase. This includes theatres, cinemas, concert halls, museums, galleries, adult gaming centres, arcades, casinos, bingo halls, bowling alleys, zoos, botanical gardens, and similar attractions. Furthermore, top-level sports matches will continue but behind closed doors without spectators.
How Manner Borne is Responding
In light of these restrictions and guidelines set forth by the government, Manner Borne has made several adjustments to our services:
Temporary Suspension of Services
Regrettably, we must inform you that we will not be able to provide our usual services during this month-long lockdown. We understand how disappointing this news may be; however, it is essential for us to prioritise health and safety above all else.
Enhanced Safety Measures
For those who may still require assistance or have urgent needs during this period when some services are available:
- Remote Support: We encourage customers to reach out via phone or email for any inquiries or support needed during this time.
- Safety Protocols: For any necessary face-to-face interactions (where permitted), strict safety protocols will be enforced including social distancing measures and mandatory face coverings.
- Regular Updates: We commit to keeping our customers informed about any changes regarding service availability as well as updates from local authorities.
Supporting Our Team
At Manner Borne, we believe that taking care of our team is just as important as taking care of our customers. During these challenging times:
- Flexible Working Arrangements: We are implementing flexible working arrangements wherever possible so that team members can work safely from home.
- Mental Health Support: We recognise that these times can take a toll on mental health; therefore we are providing resources and support systems for all employees.
- Regular Communication: Keeping lines of communication open ensures everyone feels supported throughout this period.
Looking Ahead
While Lockdown 2 presents challenges for all of us at Manner Borne—and indeed across society—we remain hopeful that by adhering strictly to these guidelines and working together as a community we can emerge stronger on the other side.
We appreciate your understanding during these trying times; your safety remains our utmost priority. As always at Manner Borne, we are committed to serving you with integrity even when faced with adversity.
Thank you for being part of our community—stay safe!
