The UK must aim to eliminate Covid-19. To do this it must close unsafe workplaces, support self-isolation and run Test and Trace locally in the public sector.
We aim to build a movement to force policy makers in the UK to adopt a Zero Covid strategy to eliminate the virus. Whilst the UK suffers in a cycle of surge and lockdown other countries have applied Zero Covid policies – we can do the same.

27 April Day of Action: Fix contact tracing, scrap Serco!
We held a Day of Action jointly with We Own It on Tuesday 27 April to tell the Government to end Serco’s contract for testing and tracing and give the money to the public sector.
The government has had to admit that their system isn’t working, and has handed over more contact tracing to local teams but it’s not enough. Now, we need to end Serco’s contracts once and for all.

13 March: Day of Action for Zero Covid
The UK Government’s roadmap will allow the R value to rise above 1 according to SAGE scientists, and fails to account for new variants of the virus or the threat of Long Covid. SAGE have also predicted that the Governments’s ‘containment’ strategy will lead to a third wave, with 30,000-80,000 further deaths.
We believe no preventable death is acceptable, and that a third wave is preventable with Zero Covid. End the social murder!
Zero Covid and the Hazards Campaign bring you five days of actions you can take to protect yourself and your workmates.
According to HSE data there have been over 3,500 outbreaks at work since the start of the pandemic. Yet Boris Johnson’s roadmap contained no steps to tackle this.
