We are close to Dartmoor but there are many more nicer towns near Dartmoor that people go to rather than here.

Primary school bubble sent home after suspected Covid case
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/coronavirus
The decision was made at Tregolls School after one parent tested positive for coronavirus and a child was awaiting results, staff said. As a precautionary measure, the school has decided all children in that bubble must stay at home, they added.
Head teacher Lara Jeffries said it was hoped test results would be back "hopefully Wednesday or Thursday". She added: "Then we just really want to get children back into school as quickly as we possibly can".
That's just ONE school - there will be hundreds over the coming weeks .....

Coronavirus: Government to prioritise NHS and care homes for testinghttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54172210
Top of the list will be NHS staff and patients, and those in care homes.
It comes as the mayor of Greater Manchester - home to England's highest infection rate - said time was running out to fix the testing system.
"I think we have two or three weeks to fix these things," mayor Andy Burnham told the BBC's Newsnight programme. "If we don't, the worry is we'll never gain control as we head into autumn and winter."

People living in Rhondda Cynon Taff will have restrictions imposed on their daily lives.
From 18:00 BST on Thursday, people will not be able to enter or leave the area without a reasonable excuse, such as travel for work or education.
All licensed premises will have to shut at 23:00 every day, once the lockdown comes into effect.
Health Minister Vaughan Gething said there had been a "rapid" rise in cases, with 82.1 infections per 100,000 people over the past seven days.
The latest equivalent figure across the whole of Wales is 21.4 per 100,000.
