This Easter weekend, do the right thing - stay in, protect the NHS and save lives

This Easter weekend could be critical in our fight against Covid-19.

Every one of us needs to do our bit to help contain the spread of this deadly virus.

That means staying in to protect the NHS and to save lives. The lockdown rules are very clear and we must stay united in observing them.

Most of us are making simple sacrifices without complaint.

But the actions of some people last weekend were selfish and shameful, as police were called to hundreds of house parties, street parties and other gatherings.

With glorious weather expected this weekend, we simply can’t afford a repeat of that behaviour.

This is the biggest challenge our country has faced since the Second World War and we must all do our bit to ensure we don’t lose our grip on Covid-19 at this crucial point.

Please don’t let down your family, friends and neighbours. Don’t let down the nurses, doctors and care workers on the frontline. Don’t let down our city.

Stay in, protect the NHS and save lives.

Drop a heart on our special map of gratitude to show your support for our NHS heroes.
