Framlingham Update 3rd April 2020

Information

Another quiet day in terms of calls and emails for assistance coming in.  This morning we were alerted by ESC to a problem in Bruisyard which needed a very swift response.  We were able to resolve this locally and the individual has been given the support they needed.

National

The Health Minster announced that the aim is to reach 100,000 tests per day by the end of April.

Suffolk

Suffolk – 157 cases as of yesterday, an increase of 35

Suffolk County Council has set up the Collaborative Communities Covid 19 Board “to support and provide a co-ordination point between national government and vital local networks”.  One aspect may be that we are asked to deliver the food parcels to vulnerable people and we have engaged with SSC to seek clarification on some of the details.

Activity

Framlingham

Continued improvements to the Framlingham.com website including details of the key care contacts and a new banner with key messages. Further changes are planned overnight including new information on local businesses providing a delivery service.

The original Framlingham response plan will be updated over the next few days. 

Phil Collins and the Framlingham Town Council will begin work on the “Return to Normality” plan.
