Time frame for bailiffs to come?

Possession order expired. Application for warrant of eviction gone in to court. Anyone have any idea of time frame that bailiffs could come out? I’ve read some information that bailiffs in London are suspended due to lack of PPE- is this still the case?

anyone with any recent experiences?

Bailiffs must give you 2 weeks' notice of an eviction date.
The notice of eviction is addressed to anyone named on the court order and 'any other occupiers'.
It comes in a sealed transparent envelope and should be posted through your letterbox or attached to the door.
On the eviction date
Most evictions are carried out by county court bailiffs between 9am and 5pm.
Some landlords use high court enforcement officers (HCEOs) to carry out the eviction. HCEOs cannot turn up before 6am or after 9pm.
The notice of eviction from the bailiffs should confirm the date and time

Only a court can send bailiffs to evict you from your home and give back the empty property to the landlord

thanks, I was hoping someone would be able to enlighten me on actual time scales from when possession order expires to bailiffs at the door. Guidance online varies from weeks to months and even a year in some cases.

any East Londoners with experience?
