The Coronavirus stats for Sunday showed that there are now two coronavirus cases in Medway*.  So I poked around on the web and quickly found that St John Fisher Comprehensive School is closed for deep cleaning as both cases are associated with it in some way. And checking again, I see one of them is now confirmed as a pupil, so I'd guess the other is a parent. They're linked to the initial case in Kent (which now has four cases), so we know this strain came in via Italy.

I can't quite see St John Fisher from here, there's a couple of streets of houses in the way, but as the crow flies it's a quarter of a mile away. That's rather closer than I'd like.

And apparently this morning someone turned up at the GPs surgery in Boots the Chemist in the local shopping centre (half a mile away) with symptoms - despite repeated messages not to go to your doctor, but to phone 111 - so that's now closed as well. 

* For the non-Brits, the UK stats are being broken down at local authority level, that's mostly counties, but unitary authorities are independent of counties, and Medway is one, so we're one of the few places to know exactly which town they're talking about.
