- Sandwell, and particularly Smethwick, has a high rate of coronavirus infections. COVID-19 is a potentially fatal illness – you must do all you can to avoid infection. This includes social distancing, using face coverings and not having non-essential visitors into your home.
- If someone in your household has coronavirus symptoms, or has tested positive, they need to isolate away from the rest of the household as much as possible. Make sure they have their own room and are separated from others as much as possible.
- If you run a workplace, shop or pub, please ensure social distancing and hand washing. Shop customers must wear face coverings at all times. For advice, or if you have positive cases within your workforce or community organisation, contact the Public Health team
