Somerset is starting to open up, but please know the virus is still with us. You can’t see it, anyone could have it and anyone can catch it. Please, please keep asking yourself.... Are you staying 2m apart? Are you washing your hands regularly? #Somerset #COVID19

[South Western Ambulance Service @swasFT]

It's important that people do what they can to prevent the spread of #COVID19 in the #southwest

If you have SYMPTOMS you MUST #SelfIsolate #GetTested for #COVID19 & help the #NHS #TestandTrace find any contacts that may be affected

#StaySafeSaveLives

[Mark Lloyd @MarkLloydCBE]

Great to be joined by almost 290 CEOs & Dirs of Public Health for the latest briefing on the emerging approach to #COVID19 local outbreak plans

Councils have a critical community leadership role to play in containing any outbreaks of the virus
