Coronavirus Information

Devon & Cornwall remain a Coronavirus Enhanced Response Area following the increased number of cases during August. The two counties will remain Enhanced Response Areas into October. Cases have come down in recent days but as people return from holiday, schools and colleges reopen and we all spend more time indoors as the weather gets colder, case rates are expected to again increase in the coming weeks.

Specifically, NHS Test and Trace and Public Health England ask everyone to:

Wash/sanitise hands regularly;

Meet outdoors rather than indoors;

Wear a facemask when indoors in shops and public buildings;

Get a Lateral Flow rapid test kit and take a test twice a week;

Isolate if you have symptoms or test positive.
