“I would like to reassure the local community that the risk remains low however it’s important to continue to follow the national guidance to protect themselves and others.
“This includes physical distancing indoors and outdoors, washing your hands regularly, using hand gel provided and arranging to get tested immediately if you develop any of the symptoms of Covid-19.”
