VULNERABLE residents have been assured they will be supported during their isolation period by Rugby Borough Council (RBC).
Posting on social media, a council spokesperson said: “We know that many of our residents have received stay-at-home guidance from the NHS because they are extra vulnerable to Covid-19.
“We will help you. We are working with partners to make sure you are supported through your isolation period and have everything you need.
“If you need extra reassurance get in touch with trusted neighbours or community groups.”
