Residents across Redcar and Cleveland are being urged to complete a Covid-19 impact survey which features questions about health, work, testing, self-isolating, vaccines and how Covid-19 has impacted life.
The survey, which is available at https://bit.ly/3t5PJo2 aims to get region wide insight into the impact of Covid-19 and is being supported by Durham University, the National Institute for Health Research and the NHS Integrated Covid Hub North East.
Cllr Steve Kay, Cabinet Member for Health, Housing and Welfare at Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, said:
“We recognise how difficult it has been for people to cope with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“Please complete our survey to help us understand more about how your day-to-day life has been affected, including health and wellbeing, work, household finances, shopping, social and leisure activities.
“We are keen to hear your views on vaccination, testing, the economy and the easing of lockdown restrictions and social distancing.
“The results will help us to identify additional support people might need to manage changes to livelihoods and day to day living. Your responses are vital to informing local recovery plans over the coming months.
“I would urge all of those who live in Redcar and Cleveland to fill in the survey and help shape our future work."
