It\u2019s there where you\u2019ll find the latest information and statistics, updated daily, at <a href=\"http:\/\/dhhs.vic.gov.au\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">dhhs.vic.gov.au\/coronavirus<\/a>. I urge you to keep up to date with that website as well as the regular addresses from the Premier and Prime Minister for the latest coronavirus information.<br \/>\nOn a local business front, it\u2019s been encouraging to see how our traders in the Borough \u2013 particularly the hospitality and retail sectors \u2013 have been adapting to the enforced restrictions with the support of our loyal residents. Many of your favourite restaurants and cafes are offering extended takeaway menus with many of them also offering free delivery within the Borough. This pandemic has asked a lot of our businesses, it has required them to adapt quickly and remain agile throughout what is an unknown situation for all of us. We ask that, for as long as possible and within your means, that you please support our locals.<br \/>\nThis will be an Easter like no other, and sadly it won\u2019t be one similar to those we have all enjoyed in the past. Here\u2019s a suggestion \u2013 instead of going out and buying up lots of chocolate this Easter, purchase a gift voucher from a local business instead. Many of our boutique shops have online stores and vouchers available right now. By shopping online or over the phone, you\u2019ll be able to support your favourite local businesses and have a little piece of the Borough delivered until we\u2019re able to have visitors again. They will appreciate it more than you may ever know.<br \/>\nTo those that may be considering visiting over Easter, we ask you to remember that \u201cstay at home\u201d means stay at home. Our community is lucky enough to have a thriving elderly population, but some of these residents need extra support from all of us during this difficult time. That\u2019s why Council\u2019s home care teams are working around the clock to keep delivering essential services, and why we\u2019re asking everyone to call \u2013 not visit \u2013 your family and friends in the Borough. By following health advice and avoiding visiting the Borough, you\u2019ll help us protect our community\u2019s most vulnerable residents.<br \/>\nIt is pleasing to see the overwhelming majority of Borough residents following the social distancing guidelines across our shops, streets, parks and beaches. It will take a cooperative effort for us to get through this as a community. On a personal note, although my family is in lockdown, it\u2019s lovely to have our two daughters home from university. Pippa, our dog, is very happy for the attention! To help reduce non-essential travel, I\u2019ve been having lots of mayoral forums using Zoom. I think the new ways in which people have embraced technology, finding things to do during isolation, and keeping themselves entertained could mean we may never go back to the way life was before COVID-19.<br \/>\nTo everyone in the Borough and beyond, please stay safe and well. Call your family, call your friends. Check in and make sure they are doing okay. This will be long and difficult, but we\u2019ll come out the other side together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cr Ross Ebbels<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Mayor, Borough of
