As a resident of Waltham Forest, we want you to help us keep Waltham Forest safe and know how to access the NHS Test and Trace service if you need to.
If you've recently had any of the symptoms then it's important you order a test immediately.
The symptoms you need to look out for are a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.
Make sure you protect your loved ones and our wider communities, by following the NHS Test and Trace guidelines.
You can learn more about Test and Trace by visiting our website.
On Saturday our playgrounds, multi-use games areas and outdoor gyms re-opened and we're so glad to see the majority of residents using these responsibly.
We have introduced regular cleaning, so you may see our teams out and about keeping these shared spaces safe.
However, we are asking that anyone using the shared facilites continues to follow social distancing, avoid busy times, and do not use equipment if you or anyone in your household has coronavirus symptoms, or are clinically vulnerable.

From Monday 6 July, Leytonstone Library has begun welcoming visitors again, as we begin the phased re-opening of our libraries. We're pleased to announce that from Monday 13 July, Hale End Library will also reopen.
There are additional measures in place to ensure for the safety of both library users and staff – please follow the guidance.
Extra cleaning will be undertaken, but we also urge visitors to take personal responsibility in wiping down shared equipment, and queues may be introduced to manage the number of people in the building.
Please bear with us as we all get used to the new arrangements in place.
Keep up to date with our library offer.
