Shropshire Council has been working closely with Telford and Wrekin Council, Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and local health and care partners, to prepare and respond to COVID-19 (coronavirus).

You can find the latest joint statements on the coronavirus situation on our Newsroom.

We are using this time to work with local partners to review business continuity and outbreak response plans should things change.

Current status

Please see the 'Shropshire Council reaction to Government’s school closures announcement' statement on our Newsroom and our 'Coronavirus: school and childcare advice for parents and guardians' press release.
