This week, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to teachers and school staff who have worked so hard to make sure schools across the borough are as safe as possible for children and young people to return to education. We have also put together some information for parents and carers that will help ensure our children stay safe at school. Read more here.
Over the last week there has been 39 new cases of coronavirus in Waltham Forest, which is an increase from 26 recorded last week, which is slightly higher than the London and national average. We all need to take responsibility for stopping the spread by following the guidance and acting responsibly and if you have symptoms (a new persistent cough, or a high temperature or a loss of taste and smell) self-isolate and get tested - call 119 or book online. You can also use our walk-in centre at Stanley Road car park, E10 7FF.
You can watch a helpful video explaining the testing process here.
Remember, social distancing and restrictions still remain in place. Meetings should only take place between two households, keep two metres away, wear a face covering in enclosed spaces, and wash your hands with soap and water regularly for 20 seconds.
