“Covid-19 Omicron wave – getting the sector prepared” — BVSC open letter

20th December 2021

BVSC’s chief executive Brian Carr has just published an open letter calling on Birmingham’s third sector organisations to use their  communications channels to promote key public health messages in advance of the  mid-January point when cases of the Omicron COVID variant are expected to reach critical levels. 

“The speed at which the Omicron wave will be upon us,” Brian says in his open letter, “will require us to mobilise very quickly when the time comes — for example, in supporting discharge from hospital.”
