County Councillor S Butikofer. Much money has been spent during the present crisis. A better idea of the full expenditure will be available at next months County Council meeting.

This has been for many uses including Norse care homes, Bin collectors, social services
Some private care homes, who are responsible for their own supplies, have purchased PPE in an emergency.
There is much debate taking place at the moment about the re-opening of schools. A survey has been sent out to parents to determine which group they would prefer to be started. The County Council view is that it would be better to open for older age groups.
County Council have been sending a great deal of information regarding the shut-down to District councils who have been making the vast majority of the responses.
District Councillor K. Ward Much of the work related to the Covid-19 outbreak has been undertaken by the District Council. The Supplementary Benefits team have been very active.
