We're working closely with health colleagues to ensure the people of Derbyshire are protected. Despite high levels of media reporting the risk to the public remains low. It is important to remember that rates of positive tests remains low (currently 15 in the UK). Good hygiene is the best preventative measure so ensure you wash your hands regularly and thoroughly.
The LGA has useful information for councils including links to national advice, answers to common questions and campaign materials from PHE.
