Please keep your distance in East Suffolk!

East Suffolk Council is urging people to respect the official advice to practice social distancing to help stop the spread of Covid-19.
 
The sunny weather saw many people congregate in tourist locations across East Suffolk this weekend, despite official advice from the Government to practice ‘social distancing’.
 
In light of the scenes seen across our part of the county this weekend, East Suffolk Council have said that it is more important than ever to remind residents that social distancing is not optional – it is mandatory. 

Councillor Steve Gallant, Leader of East Suffolk Council said that he “understands it is difficult for everyone, but it is essential that we all respect the official advice of staying indoors and practice social distancing to help protect the vulnerable people in our communities. The NHS is under extreme pressure dealing with an unprecedented situation and we must ALL do our bit.”
 
Meanwhile, following the Government’s announcement on Friday the 20th March that a series of businesses must shut their doors for the foreseeable future to help stop the spread of the virus, local authorities have been designated to take action.
