Update on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19):
A message from your MP, Bill Wiggin
The Coronavirus has created an unprecedented challenge for Countries the world over.
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.
When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection. That is why the Government has introduced three new measures.
Requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes.
Closing non-essential shops and community spaces.
Stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public.
Every citizen must comply with these new measures. The relevant authorities, including the police, will be given the powers to enforce them – including through fines and dispersing gatherings.
