We’re into the second week since Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced strict new guidelines to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Along with the rest of the UK residents in South Tyneside are now only allowed to leave their homes for a few specific reasons, including to buy groceries, go to the pharmacy or to undertake one form daily exercise.

On Thursday, April 2 the streets of Hebburn were deserted, with only essential shops still allowed to remain, and libraries, gyms and community centres closed.
