It is crucial that residents stay at home and follow the ‘lockdown’ rules to protect the NHS at this critical time.

Parents and carers who are critical workers should keep their children at home if they can, rather than at school.

Act like everyone has the virus, and that they may be carrying the virus themselves – 1 in 3 people with Covid-19 show no symptoms.

Wash hands, wear face coverings, and social distance 100% of the time.

5/8
If you show any symptoms of coronavirus you must urgently self-isolate and get tested, getting a test is one of the reasons people can leave home in this lockdown.

6/8
The rapid testing centre at the Place, Oakengates, is now open to any resident who is not displaying symptoms to get tested – especially those people who can’t avoid leaving home for work.

We face a difficult couple of months, it will take time for infections to fall to decline to a more acceptable level – thank you to everyone who is doing their part during this lockdown. ❤
