Manner Borne Lockdown 2 Updates
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. There are, however, a number of permitted exceptions. Those whose jobs cannot be performed from home are permitted to travel to work, as are individuals attending educational institutions or fulfilling caring responsibilities for those who need assistance. Travel is also permitted for medical appointments, including visits to hospitals, GP surgeries, or other medical facilities in the event of an accident or health concern. Additionally, essential retail visits to venues that remain open are allowed, as is travel required to engage in physical exercise where a short journey is necessary.
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, support remains available. We encourage customers to reach out via phone or email for any inquiries, and where face-to-face interactions are permitted, strict safety protocols will be enforced, including social distancing measures and mandatory face coverings. We are also committed to keeping our customers informed about any changes regarding service availability and updates from local authorities as the situation develops.
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, we are implementing flexible working arrangements wherever possible so that team members can work safely from home. We also recognise the toll these circumstances can take on mental health, and are providing dedicated resources and support systems for all employees. Keeping lines of communication open remains a priority, ensuring that everyone feels supported and connected 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!
