Coronavirus Update from the Peak District National Park Authority
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update 22 March 2020 – from the Peak District National Park Authority
The Peak District National Park has seen extremely high numbers of visitors in recent days.
The government has been clear on the need to avoid unnecessary contact with others to maintain the social distancing measures that are vital for us all to help reduce the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19). It is important that we all consider our social responsibilities to help tackle this outbreak, and as government advice states, travel should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. This is no more important than in the Peak District, which is a living and working landscape and community for many thousands of people.
These are unprecedented times for us all, and this situation remains fast-moving, complex and challenging.
If your visit to the National Park is not absolutely necessary, please consider alternative green spaces closer to home, and we will update our coronavirus pages regularly with how government guidance may affect our activities.
Working together we can all help during this coronavirus crisis and the National Park, our businesses and communities will be ready to welcome everyone when it is once again safe to do so.
Thank you, and stay safe.
