We are sending email updates about coronavirus (Covid-19) throughout the week when we have new information to share with local people. This may mean that you sometimes get more than one email alert from us in a day.
In the meantime, this first email includes some of the common things people want to know as well as links to get advice and support.

Face coverings
You need to wear a face covering in lots of different places. This is now mandatory for everyone except children under 11 and those with certain disabilities.
Failing to wear a face covering could result in a fine of up to £100.
Please see our website for more information about face coverings including a short video by Dr Amir Khan showing how to safely put on and wear a face covering.
