๐งช Message from Neath Cluster about mobile community testing units โน
๐ Just to clear up any confusion the mobile testing unit in Briton Ferry is at the Quays car park off Brunel Way.
โIt is NOT at Briton Ferry Health Centre (the doctor's surgeries or pharmacy).
๐ Thanks
๐ฅWeโve been working hard putting in place all the Covid-19 guidelines to make sure you receive your flu vaccination safely in the Neath cluster.
Some practices are able to give the vaccine in their surgery, others have had to use alternative venues, all are Covid secure. (1/3)
Implementing the guidelines, and strictly observing physical distancing measures, means our teams canโt see as many people in one go as they would have done previously. Sessions are more spread out over a longer period of time because the safety of our patients is paramount(2/3)
Have I washed my hands?
Do I have my mask?
Am I keeping my 2 metres distance?
Is this journey essential?
Am I following local rules?
โ๏ธ These are the simple questions we must all ask ourselves every day to #KeepWalesSafe.
Do you live or work in @NPTCouncil@torfaencouncil or @VOGCouncil?
From 6pm today, local restrictions will be in place in these areas to stop the spread of coronavirus.
