NHS doctors, nurses and other frontline staff have come forward to help reassure communities that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and have been independently tested to the highest standards.

Clinicians have recorded messages in some of the most commonly spoken languages – apart from English – in the capital to help ensure messages about the importance of getting a COVID-19 vaccine reach all Londoners.

They explain how the vaccine is given, and give clear evidence that the vaccines work and are safe. It is hoped that the videos will be shared among friends, families, faith and community groups via WhatsApp, text message and on social media. You can view the script in English and download the videos via the links below.

The languages the videos have been produced in are:

  • Arabic
  • Bengali
  • Gujarati
  • Polish
  • Punjabi
  • Romanian
  • Spanish
  • Swahili
  • Turkish
  • Urdu
  • Yoruba

You can socialise outdoors with up to 6 people from different households. If you want to socialise with more than 6 people, you can meet outside up to a limit of 30 people, but only if they are from your household and one other household. Always try to keep 2 metres apart.

CV19 advice for communities. Video and audio files in various languages

Coronavirus, also know as COVID-19, is still in our community.

We’ve seen an increase in people testing positive for coronavirus or COVID-19 in Kirklees.

There are a few, very simple things you can do to make sure you don’t get the virus or spread it to others.

When you go out, stay at least 2 metres (or 3 steps) away from anyone you do not live with.

Don’t shake hands or share lifts in cars.

Avoid crowds, including large gatherings of friends or family. 

Wear something that covers your nose and mouth when it’s hard to stay away from people, on public transport and in shops.

Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water as often as you can.  Especially when you’ve been outside your home.

At home, clean surfaces and any shared items as often as possible.

And open your windows to keep rooms well ventilated.

The main symptoms of coronavirus are:

  • A high temperature – this means you may feel hot to touch on your chest or back
  • A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour or having three or more coughing episodes in a day.   
  • A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.

If you have any of these symptoms, you must stay at home.

Isolate yourself from the rest of your household.

Call 119 or go on to the NHS website to book a test for coronavirus.

Thank you for playing your part in keeping yourself and your community safe.  Following this advice will save lives.

Stay tuned for the rest of the videos/audios
