the Prime Minister instructed us to help protect our NHS by staying at home.
No Member of Parliament wants to see these measures in place, but by doing what we can we are allowing the NHS to do all they can to give those requiring it, the best treatment and care possible.
Until instructed otherwise, please only leave your household for the following reasons:
- To buy food and other necessities
- To pursue one form of exercise: solo or with members of your household, such as running, walking, cycling.
- For medical needs
- To travel to work but only when necessary and unable to work from home.
All shops selling non-essential goods will be closed, along with gyms, libraries and places of worship. Ceremonies such as weddings and baptisms will no longer be able to take place but exceptions will be made for funerals.
Police will have the power to impose fines and disperse gatherings but these measures will be in constant review and lifted once evidence indicates it is safe to do so.
I understand and appreciate the challenges adhering to these measures may cause and I am available at mark.fletcher.mp@parliament.uk should you require any guidance or assistance.
By working together we can all do what we can to #stopthespread of coronavirus (Covid-19).
