(COVID-19): services, facilities and guidance
Latest information
Residents of Wellingborough (alongside residents of
Northampton, Kettering and Corby) are being urged to take
action as the number of cases has risen above the national
rate. We need to work together to avoid a local lockdown.We all need to take some simple steps:
• Limit contact with others outside your household or bubble.
• Work from home if you can.
• Keep 2 metres from others at all times, use a face covering where you are less than 2 metres apart.
• Avoid using public transport or car sharing, wear face coverings if you cannot avoid these.
• Avoid meeting those outside of your household or bubble in an indoor space.
• Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly for 20 seconds each time.
• Do not share items with others outside of your household or bubble.
If you have any items for the September magazine, please send them to John by Sunday 16 August.
