Understandably, lots of people have been contacting me about COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. 

It is still important that we all continue to follow official public health guidelines. You can find the government’s latest official guidance relating to COVID-19 here. The NHS has also published detailed advice about the virus, available here.

Locally, I have and continue to liaise with the two local authorities covering the Two Cities, Westminster City Council and the City of London Corporation, on their responses to the virus, how they are supporting the most vulnerable, advising on how people can volunteer to help and supporting local businesses.

In response to the questions I am being asked, I have put together some advice which you can find on the sidebar by the video.

I have also produced a useful guide about the importance of people continuing to looking after their mental health, which you can view here. Please share this with your friends and family.   

My parliamentary office remains open, in accordance with government advice. If you need to get in touch please use our normal contact details which can be found here.   

Together, we can support each other and come through this difficult time.
