Prudhoe
There is an increasing number of people working from home or self isolating.
Already we are becoming aware of some issues with them being in confined areas, such as boredom & feeling low.
It would appear that many people are watching constant TV coverage & social media feeds about the virus and this is having a deep impact upon them.
There is a level of FAKE news on social media and some inappropriate comments, even locally.
This is very unhelpful in so many ways.

We are happy to assist residents but we are also encountering issues.
