Dear Community Resilience Group/Community Council/Colleagues
I hope you have all had a good week.
Numbers of confirmed cases of COVID have risen across the NHS Highland area in the last week as pupils returned to schools after the summer break. As you will see in the attached joint press release from The Highland Council and NHS Highland issued on Wednesday, this increase is expected to continue and while COVID-19 is circulating at such high levels, NHS Highland advise us all to try to minimise our contact with others as much as possible to limit further spread within our communities.
This week’s briefing is attached and contains information on:
- The current numbers of covid cases across Highland.
- NHS Highland Stakeholder briefing and joint press release attached.
- Updated COVID-19 advice from the Scottish Government for people at highest risk.
- Next week’s community testing programme for people without symptoms which will be in Grantown on Spey.
- The launch of a Long COVID e-Learning Self-Management Resource by LGOWIT.
Thank you for everything that you are doing in your communities
