The situation is constantly changing and, as a result, our considerations are also changing. Yesterday, an extraordinary meeting of the Commissioners was held to provide an update on the situation and to discuss the initial principles of our response. We continue to respond to advice that's changing on a daily basis, and careful planning needs to be done on the basis of different scenarios. The Commission provides all staff with information and advice about coronavirus that is as complete and up to date as possible. This information is available on our intranet.

If a Member suspects that they're infected, they should inform Members' business services immediately. In the case of staff members, they should inform their employer and the Commission immediately. Individuals who suspect that they are infected should contact the NHS helpline by calling 111 and isolate themselves at an appropriate place.

As the situation evolves, there may be implications for Assembly business, and we will ensure timely and appropriate decisions are made as a result of that. In the meantime, the Commission has taken proactive measures, such as placing guidance on thorough hand washing in the estate's toilets, and providing hand gel at all entrances to the building and public areas.

The situation is expected to intensify quickly, so we all have a responsibility in playing a part in preventing the spread of the virus. I'd like to assure you that the Commission is doing everything within its ability to safeguard staff, Members and visitors to the estate.
