Quarr Abbey Road Map for Reopening

This is our planned approach to reopening please remember that this is reliant on each of the criteria being achieved for the national road map to unlock each step

The decision will be based on four tests:

• the vaccine deployment programme continues successfully
• evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated
• infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS
• our assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new Variants of Concern
