Chief Superintendent Shaun Morley said he was grateful for the support of the communities of Doncaster for overwhelmingly sticking to the Government’s guidelines to stay at home so far.
He said: “I know the weather this week has been warm and sunny, with the weekend also promising some good weather, but please do not let the temptation to go out and enjoy the warmer weather ruin the weeks of dedicated effort you and so many others have contributed.

“I am also keenly aware of the impact that the current restrictions place on individuals, couples and families across Doncaster. Being unable to see your friends and family, not spending time with those you love – it’s upsetting and I know it’s causing many of us to be anxious and sad.
“However, we have to remember that what we are sacrificing now, the efforts we make now, will only help us in the long-term. We must all work together in this and I am so proud of Doncaster for the community spirit you have demonstrated.
“There are many ways you can enjoy the warmer weather at home without risking your health and the health of those around you. You can pass on the virus even if you don’t have symptoms, and that’s really important to remember – it is not worth taking the risk visiting family or friends when you could be carrying the virus.
