Partners from across the Greater Manchester system have come together to outline their commitment to work together to Keep GM Moving
Partners across the system in Greater Manchester (GM) are committed to playing their part in supporting the Covid-19 response, and at the same time, to keeping working together to Keep GM Moving during this challenging period. We know that keeping GM people and communities moving is critical throughout the pandemic, and will work with national and local organisations to best support active lives.
As we seek to balance Covid-19 risk, population health and economic needs, we will follow the principles set out by the Association of Directors of Public Health.
This is about more than just one of us, this is about all of us coming together for Greater Manchester. We would encourage you to share this with your networks and join us as we work to Keep GM Moving.
We would encourage all members of the Greater Manchester community to continue to follow government guidelines, including while keeping active, to ensure we return to normal as soon as possible and to help save lives.
A reminder: If you have any symptoms of Coronavirus - a new continuous cough, high temperature, or a change or loss of smell/taste - however mild, the most important thing is to stay at home, and to book a test via GOV.UK or by phoning 119.
