Meanwhile, Shrewsbury Town in the Community is suspending delivery of all sessions to all vulnerable groups until April 3.

The statement added: “This will include all disability and health sessions, which deliver activity to groups of older adults and to anyone with underlying health conditions as our duty of care remains paramount to this situation and we are acting pro-actively with this interest in mind.”
