Doing your big shop?
 It's half-term and the shops are busier than normal.
Please, if you can, shop alone - ideally one person per household. The more people there are in shops, the more difficult it is to social distance.
 Supermarkets and shops are places where we are likely to come into contact with others and therefore are a risk for infection.
Our officers are patrolling with Sandwell Police to make sure shops and customers are acting responsibly.

Remember:
 Always wear a face covering
 Keep at least 2 metres apart
 Use hand sanitiser
 Visit at times when shops are less busy
 Don't touch anything you aren't going to buy Use contactless payments when possible
And if you don't feel safe in a shop, don't go there again.

Are you worried that a loved one is at risk of being exploited by extremists?
With children and young people spending more time online at the moment, it is important to spot the signs of online radicalisation. You won’t ruin lives but you could save them. Act early.

Leaving home for work? Get a test to be safe
If you do not have symptoms but you must go out to work, you can have a free rapid Covid-19 test at West Bromwich Town Hall every week.
Sandwell has a dangerously high infection rate compared to other areas in the UK. There is a worrying number of cases in people aged 65 and older.
So rapid testing is really important to detect people who have Covid-19 without realising, helping us to stop the spread..
