Oakham Market Coronavirus Rutland County Council strongly urge everyone to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.





Oakham Market Busy last Saturday I took this 
image on my way to work I am told it was busier 
later in the day, people have been concerned 
about social distancing at this Saturday's 
market day some have contacted Rutland County Council
and they have published this response:



"We understand some concerns have been raised about the extent to which social distancing guidelines are being observed at outdoor markets.

We strongly urge everyone to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.

Shopping for food and other essentials should be done as infrequently as possible, while observing social distancing advice at all times. 

The government has issued specific guidance asking food market operators to consider how they can safely sell their products without encouraging crowds and ensure hygiene measures are in place."
