Dr Ruth Harrell provided an update to the Board on COVID-19.  It was reported that there had been a large escalation across the country as well as in Plymouth.  There was a need for the population to understand the basic measures of social distancing, hand washing and to wear a face covering in an enclosed space.  If they have any symptoms to isolate for 2 weeks only get a test if you have symptoms.
