What is an ‘location of issue’?
Public Health England publishes a weekly list of locations where increasing infection rates are becoming stressing.
It separates them into “areas of concern”, “locations of enhanced assistance” and “locations of intervention”.

Rather, the government hopes individuals’s sense of civic responsibility will see them follow guidance to remain at house.
