As we remain deep into the coronavirus lockdown, Street residents are doing their bit to make sure the spread of Covid-19 is kept to a minimum.

Three more people have died in Mendip area care homes after contracting coronavirus, which highlights the seriousness of the pandemic.

And the latest figures have shown the latest number of cases by district, with Mendip now standing at 57.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the government has now published the road map for the next steps in the fight against coronavirus, including the wearing of face coverings "in some settings".

However, Street residents are showing resilience and continuing to go about their work and look after their families in as safe a way as possible.

To help make sure there is a place where everyone can access information, this article aims to inform residents about everything they need to know regarding the crisis.

It will be constantly updated, so if you would like to add any information, or correct any information that has become out-of-date, please email [email protected].
