Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways.
The government has published an action plan on how the UK will deal with the Coronavirus. The UK's response is being guided by the scientific and medical advice from our Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer.
You can get the most up to date advice and information about Coronavirus by visiting the dedicated government website here, and for the most up to date medical information, please see the NHS website here.

What am I doing as your Member of Parliament?
My team and I have been responding to the literally hundreds of emails and phone calls that I have been receiving about this issue. I can help point you in the direction of the help you are entitled to, offer advice or try to find out the answers to the questions you need answered from the correct avenue.
I post very regular updates to my social media pages. You can follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
I am also going to be helping in the volunteer efforts to get food and medicine to elderly and vulnerable residents. If you also want to get involved with voluntary efforts, then please check the volunteering section of my website by clicking the link on the left hand side of the page.
Finally, I will also be arranging for an information leaflet to be delivered to every home with some key information about the Coronavirus, but a PDF copy of this leaflet can be found below.
Parliament is now in recess. This would have taken place now anyway, but it is being extended by one week. We are due to sit again towards the end of April. Regardless of whether Parliament is sitting, I am here to argue for the Carshalton and Wallington's case with Government. I will continue to do this.
