Covid-19
As predicted, cases of Covid-19 have started to rise as Autumn progresses. Senior scientists are constantly reviewing the situation, with government now imposing further restrictions in an attempt to reduce the rate of infection. It certainly gets harder to know what we're allowed to do and what we are not. In many situations the responsibility is being placed on business owners, to put in place strict safe systems to allow them to operate. We see this in shops, places of work, public houses, restaurants and other establishments where people are visiting. In Cosgrove the restrictions are thought to have worked well, with very few cases of Covid-19 identified.
On 24th September, the NHS Covid-19 Track and Trace phone App was launched. Being aware that someone you've been in close contact with, who's been tested and confirmed positive for the virus, gives you chance to prevent spreading the virus by self isolating. Staying away from other people, until confident that you aren't able to pass on the virus, will dramatically reduce the spread. Don't forget, some people who test positive, don't experience symptoms, but can infect anyone they come into close contact with. From a positive test, the App will provide information identifying other App users that may be at risk and they will be notified to self isolate. Anyone notified, is morally obligated to abide by the self isolating notification. Hopefully it won't apply to anyone who reads this, but please do your best to help our country overcome this highly contagious disease.

Coronavirus (Covid-19)
A number of members of the community have volunteered to help those less fortunate villagers, who are forced to self isolate during the threat of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our Parish Councillors now co-ordinate a team of volunteer supporters, who are collecting prescribed medication and essential shopping for the elderly and those with health conditions that force them to stay at home. A printed copy of the scheme has been delivered to every household, shared on village social media and attached below. If you are self isolating and require assistance, contact one of our Parish Councillors and they will arrange for your needs to be catered for.
