MIDDLESBROUGH'S residents are being sent a thank you for their sacrifices in the fight against coronavirus and a reminder to continue keeping safe.
A team made up of Middlesbrough Council staff, councillors, volunteers and partner agencies including MFC Foundation are delivering leaflets to every home in the town over the coming days with the important message that "coronavirus hasn't gone away".
The leaflet contains key reminders about the continued importance of hand washing and social distancing as well as information on coronavirus testing and support available for any issue residents might be facing.
It also informs people that from July Middlesbrough Council will be offering temperature tests in public places to help avoid the spread of coronavirus.
Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: "People across Middlesbrough have made lots of sacrifices and I'd like to thank you for everything you've done."
