We've been working closely with Telford and Wrekin Council, Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and local health and care partners in our response to COVID-19 (coronavirus).

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

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