“We know that in this difficult time many of Gibraltar’s residents are facing challenges,” she said.

Ms Rodriguez added: “To address these issues we have put in place a list of Legal Practitioners willing to give free legal advice as well as Money Advisers to assist people with financial difficulties during this critical time.

We also have volunteer Interpersonal Mediators who are happy to assist with any dispute whether family or neighbourhood issues.”

“We are also liaising with the Mental Health Support Team and have provided a list of suitably qualified counsellors and Neuro Linguistic Practitioners (NLP), who are able to support individuals facing anxiety and emotional deterioration.”
