She said: “Residents have been working hard to follow the guidance and get a handle of the spread of the virus across our communities.
“However, coronavirus remains an issue for us all with cases rising nationally.
“As such, it is great to have public figures encouraging our communities to keep following the guidance.
“It is crucial that we continue to wash hands regularly for 20 seconds, wear face coverings in public enclosed spaces, and keep 2m apart from those outside of our households.”
