Coronavirus (COVID-19): Update Important Information for Encore Clients
Posted by Encore Estate Management on 18th December 2020 -
Following the recent Government announcement regarding changes to some Covid-19 measures, we want to provide you with an update on how we are currently working.
We want to thank all of those who have signed up to our portal MyPropertyOnline this year and strongly encourage those who haven’t, to do so as soon as possible.
We want to assure you that whilst we are following the government’s advice, we have the welfare of our staff, our communities, and our service contractors at the forefront of our minds with every decision taken. We know this has been a difficult year but we are still here for you.
Latest Government Advice
The tier system currently in operation across England means there are different restrictions in place for different areas in which we operate. It is important that you understand the rules in your local area and you can read about those here.
The single most important action we can all take, in fighting coronavirus, is to stay at home as much as possible in order to protect the NHS and save lives. When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection.
Every citizen must comply with the measures in place in their local area. The relevant authorities, including the police, have the powers to enforce them – including through fines and dispersing gatherings.
The Government has announced some lifting of restrictions for the festive period between 23 and 27 December ONLY. These include:
- you can form an exclusive ‘Christmas bubble’ composed of people from no more than three households
- you can only be in one Christmas bubble
- you cannot change your Christmas bubble
- you can travel between tiers and UK nations for the purposes of meeting your Christmas bubble
- you can only meet your Christmas bubble in private homes or in your garden, places of worship, or public outdoor spaces
- you can continue to meet people who are not in your Christmas bubble outside your home according to the rules in the tier you are meeting in
- if you form a Christmas bubble, you should not meet socially with friends and family that you do not live with in your home or garden unless they are part of your Christmas bubble
