We've set up a new community helpline to direct you to services that can help during the current situation.

Uttlesford Community Response has been set up for the following two things:

  1. To help direct residents who need support, such as picking up shopping or prescription collections, to services which can help or to someone who can be a telephone or Facebook friend.
  2. To provide advice on where to register your offer of help to support your community.

Call: 03333 408 218 (8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday)

Coronavirus (Covid-19): what you need to do

SAH

The single most important action we can all take in fighting coronavirus is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives.

  • Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (where this absolutely cannot be done from home)
  • Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
  • Wash your hands as soon as you get home
