 From today, you'll be able to download the NHS Covid-19 app which will help you to protect your loved ones in an efficient and simple way.
The app, designed to track where positive coronavirus cases are will help you to understand whether you have been in contact with someone who has coronavirus.
It will be mandatory for the hospitality, leisure and tourism sector to ask visitors to 'check-in' via the app, to help them track any possible spreads more efficiently.
The app is available for download on your relevant app store on your mobile phone.

Additionally, from March-August 2020, Waltham Forest’s bin collection crews picked up over one ton of domestic batteries, four tonnes of small electrical items and a whopping seven tonnes of textiles including clothes and shoes.
 We caught up with some of the students at Waltham Forest College last week.
