Senior councillors from Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council have pulled together a personal message to remind people to stay at home over the Easter holiday to protect the NHS and save lives.

It builds on the launch of an Easter campaign by the two authorities with ‘Buddy the Bunny’ setting daily challenges and activities to help keep the county’s families entertained during the holiday.

Cllr Steve Count, leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, said: “We all appreciate how challenging it has been for people to stay in their homes away from friends and loved ones, particularly at Easter when families get together to enjoy themselves.

“But it is vitally important for people to follow the government’s guidelines – to stay at home, only going out to get essential goods or medical appointments, and to exercise once a day.

“We thank everyone for their understanding and cooperation during this difficult time, but by staying at home people are helping the NHS and our own staff working in essential roles on the frontline and, most importantly, saving lives.”
