Covid 19 Advice and Guidance – where to start?
With daily updates from Government throwing up more questions than answers, and businesses on the brink of collapse there’s already a minefield of information out there. But with so much on offer deciphering it can overwhelming. If you are a business in Brighton & Hove, or South East, here is a list of the main points that we’ve been going to for the latest information.
As we hear more from Government, we’ll update the links over the coming days and weeks.

UK Government
And of course, the Government has a number of pages, all of which are being updated regularly as the crisis continues. The three that I’ve found most useful have been:
