“This virus spreads from person to person. We now have a collective task across the country to break the chains of transmission and stop this virus from spreading further. 

“Plan to see half the number of people this week that you saw last week. When you do meet, do so safely – keep your distance, wear a face covering if appropriate and wash your hands.
