Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

Three new COVID support schemes for businesses which were announced by the Government are now up and running in Chichester District.

Lateral flow tests to be deployed to all secondary schools and colleges to help detect asymptomatic cases and break chains of transmission

Staff to be tested weekly, and staff and students to be tested daily if identified as a close contact

Leading councillors in Chichester District have decided to continue two business support schemes next year.

Christmas is an important time of year for many people in the UK, regardless of their faith. COVID-19 continues, however, to pose a very real and ongoing threat. It will not be possible to take full advantage of the  winter holiday season and to celebrate Christmas in the normal way.
