Barnet Council has urged Golders Green residents to maintain social distancing measures following a “small increase” in positive Covid-19 cases.

An alert was issued to households in the “NW11 area”  on Wednesday citing  “anecdotal evidence” of an “increase in family clusters of cases in the Jewish Orthodox communities.”

Cllr Caroline Stock, chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board and Barnet’s Mayor Dr Tamara Djuretic, director of Public Health said:”We are writing to alert you to a small increase in positive Covid-19 cases in NW11 area.

“We do not have information that is granular enough to suggest it is originating from a specific community, but anecdotal evidence suggests an increase in family cluster of cases in the Jewish Orthodox communities.
