“It’s a big weekend ahead,” says Liz Canavan - with reopenings, opportunities to meet others.

“It’s a big weekend to prove to each other that we can do these things safely. Every contact counts.”
“Think about the people you want to spend Christmas with - what you do NOW, will make a huge difference to that.”

“COVID exploits every chance it gets... any time you meet more people - it raises the risks.”

Canavan asking people to consider everything very carefully.
Outdoors always better than indoors says Canavan, stressing importance of ventilation.

“Disinfecting surfaces and sitting two metres apart - simply isn’t enough to fully protect yourself.”
