Many community groups on social media are very active with lots of kind offers for help. This is very positive but please be mindful:

- don't answer the door to someone you don't know and are not expecting

- don't answer to anyone cold calling offering coronavirus testing (this is a scam, it is not available in the community yet)

- don't answer to anyone cold calling offering to go and get shopping for you
