CL Closed for The Year

if the one infected person had been using the on site facilities along with a possible high percentage of others on the site, you can be sure the authorities would isolate the site until such time that everybody had been tested.

I find it unlikely that the authorities would take any such action Ruf

well my logic is that if e.g. you were at a site in a place such as Cornwall, it would make sense to isolate say 200 people on a caravan site rather than have to isolate the whole of Cornwall, which is exactly what they are looking to do in e.g. leicester, lock down a known area of infection rather than Leicester as a whole.

so your logic is ???

as for CL not opening, I am sure they have looked very closely at their business, which may or may not be making a workable profit and when they read such as below from the gov guidance who wouldnt throw in the towel if you are 2 person ownership of a CL

TOURER, MOTORHOME AND TENT USERS
In addition to the foregoing, the person and the group will need to use a designated service point to get water and dispose of grey/black waste. When the person or group plan to use these facilities, they should contact the reception desk by phone to arrange a
specific time to do this. A park representative will need to clean the service point with the appropriate chemicals it can be used again

Just filled up at Morrison’s on Preston docks. Couldn’t see any gloves there.

My logic?

Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said there was "no immediate prospect" of a lockdown.

Ms Patel said she had spoken to Health Secretary Matt Hancock about a possible local lockdown, and said "extra support" would be going into the area.

Leicester South MP and shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth told the BBC's The World This Weekend he felt there was "no suggestion" a lockdown was about to happen.

"I received a briefing from the health secretary yesterday and yes, we have a spike in infections in Leicester and yes, we have to respond to that with extra testing capacity and extra support for the local authority," he said.

"But nobody is proposing a local lockdown in the way in which it appears to have been presented in some of the media today and me and Matt Hancock were at one with that."

Public Health England said it was "concerned" by the increase in cases in the city and urged residents to follow advice on hygiene, social distancing and testing.

It also said any tightening of restrictions locally, while such measures were eased elsewhere, would be "difficult" for the city.

Leicester has seen a number of Covid-19 cases in recent days.

Several schools have been affected. Herrick Primary in Rushey Mead; Moat Community College in Highfields; Whitehall Primary in Rowlatts Hill; and Humberstone Junior and Humberstone Infant academies have all closed for a number of days.

Business has been hit too, with three people testing positive at Sainsbury's supermarket in Melton Road, food manufacturer Samworth Brothers confirming a "handful" of cases at its Beaumont Leys sites and an unconfirmed number at the Pladis factory in South Wigston.

 

So the likelihood of a site being quarantined because of a single person infected is very small. Infinitesimal in fact.

 

If thousands of touring outfits can make it home through seriously locked down Spain and France, I am under no illusions that five vans anywhere in UK will get home from a CL. 

It might be that some CL owners are more vulnerable to Covid etc (maybe a family member) so it's quite understandable from several points of view that at present they decide not to open.

Class others PPE responsibility for your safety as a bonus-you should care mainly about you, you know it makes sense👍🏻😊

well Easy this is what Ms Patel said yesterday and i heard her

The city of Leicester may be facing a localised lockdown after a rise in coronavirus cases, Home Secretary Priti Patel has confirmed.

Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, she said it was "correct" that the government was considering the move, reported in the Sunday Times

I know what Patel said I am also aware that there will be great reluctance to act with a local lockdown although they might delay pub openings in the city but I also doubt that. I expect the usual media hype.
