·         37 guests were being accommodated at Carter Lane hostel where work to identify and move individuals into longer term accommodation was ongoing.

·         The City of London Police was taking a four ‘E’s approach to COVID-19 enforcement which comprised Engage, Explain, Encourage and Enforce.
