Simple steps like social distancing & handwashing have reduced the number of new cases and deaths across Cumbria, so please don’t quit now.
NEWS: For the first time since April there are no Cumbrian care homes experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak. The good news comes as homes prepare to welcome back visitors, meaning residents can once again meet with family and friends.
