Issued on behalf of the Craignish community council Coronavirus (COVID-19) – local coordination group
In order to be prepared for any developments in the situation, and to make sure we are doing all we can to protect and reassure vulnerable members of the community, we have set up a working group which includes representatives from the Community Council, Craignish Village Hall and Craignish Community Company.
This group, which met today, will be conferring every week, and as the need arises, and will work with other local groups and businesses to make sure that any actions we take are coordinated and everybody is kept well informed.
In the meantime, if you have any questions our advice is to use official sources and be wary of rumours or speculation.

· avoid direct contact with people that have a respiratory illness and avoid using their personal items such as their mobile phone
· cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with disposable tissues and dispose of them in the nearest waste bin after use.
