I am pleased that Hertsmere has been removed from the government’s coronavirus list of concern.

This is thanks to the hard work of the County Council, Borough Council and relevant local bodies in previous weeks.

Thank you to all Hertsmere residents who continue to observe the message of hands, face and space. People should wash their hands frequently, wear a face mask as appropriate and observe social distancing rules.

We must continue to bring the spread of the virus under control and continue this hard work in the weeks ahead.
