Omicron variant - new support announced for businesses
We are aware of the announcement made by the Chancellor on Tuesday 21 December 2021, regarding financial support for the hospitality and leisure sectors as the UK tackles rising cases of the Omicron variant.
Available grants for hospitality and leisure businesses in England will be up to £6,000 per premises. The Treasury has set aside £683m for these payments, which will be administered through local authorities and will be available in the coming weeks.
Once the expected information has been received, we will provide further updates via our COVID business grants webpage and the Business Bulletin.
Customer Service Centre closure
The Customer Service Centre at Marcus Garvey is closed for face-to-face appointments until further notice due to officers testing positive for Covid-19.
The safety of our staff and residents is our priority and we are unable to staff the centre safely given the current situation.
If you would like to make an appointment for urgent issues, this can be done online or via the published phone number for our service centre in Wood Green.
Please note that there are a limited number of appointments, and you should only attend for anything urgent which cannot be done online or via the contact centre. Full details of services can be found on this website. Please do not attend Wood Green without an appointment as you may not be seen.
If you would like to use the public PCs for parking permits please note that the reception service is unable to stand or sit in close proximity to you and masks must be worn (unless exempt) for everyone’s safety.
COVID-19 Omicron measures news update
Booster opens up to people aged 18+
People aged 18 or over will be able to pre-book a booster dose appointment 2 months after their second dose. You can get your booster dose 3 months after your second dose.
NHS Covid Pass
MPS have approved government plans to introduce NHS COVID passes meaning that you’ll need to show a NHS COVID Pass at nightclubs, some venues and large events to show you’re fully vaccinated, have had a negative test result in the last 48 hours, or you have an exemption.
Compulsory face masks and mandatory vaccinations for NHS staff were also passed into law.
International travel red list ends
The UK has removed all 11 countries from England’s coronavirus travel “red list” of travel restrictions. Hotel quarantine for travellers arriving in England from the red list countries ended at 4am this morning.
NHS ends 15-minute wait after Pfizer jab
The 15-minute wait for patients after they have received a Pfizer COVID-19 jab has been scrapped by NHS England so more booster jabs can be administered. It is estimated that removing the additional wait time will increase NHS capacity by almost a quarter.
