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.
