Basildon Council is making decisions day by day in order to balance the need to maintain essential services and the need to support those who need our help the most, while at the same time following public health guidance for the protection of the public and staff against infection from coronavirus (COVID-19).
The welfare and safety of our staff, residents and people visiting the borough remain our priority.
See further advice and guidance under the following headings:
Everyone over the age of five who is showing symptoms of COVID-19 can book a test. Care home staff and residents with or without symptoms can book a test.
In response to the on-going situation with Coronavirus and in line with Government guidance, we are changing our homelessness processes until further notice.
Whether you are business owner/operator or a member of the public, we want you to tell us about any business you feel is acting unfairly during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The government are currently advising the public to stay at home and only go out when it's essential but still it's important to look after both your physical and mental health.
