Richmond is being reminded not to risk the health of families, friends and neighbours as the New Year approaches.

In the days leading up to Christmas the borough was seeing over 450 people per day testing positive for COVID-19 

Tier 4 rules remain in place and people must not leave or be outside the home or garden without a reasonable excuse'.

So the message for welcoming in 2021 is to restrict celebrations  to people that live with you or are your support bubble.
