 The highly transmissible BA2 variant of Omicron is causing a significant increase in positive persons accessing UTC/ A&E at the hospital, and causing significant demand for our local hospital services. Unless you need help for an immediate health emergency residents are urged to contact their GP surgery first or NHS 111 to seek advice.
Whilst national restrictions have ended, Covid levels are currently very high and increasing in the community. Please remember what works, wash your hands frequently, socially distance where possible and wearing a mask in public places is encouraged – this will help reduce spread and avoid further increasing pressure on our hospital.
Free community testing has now finished. There are a few groups who will still receive free testing, this incudes free testing NHS staff in front facing roles and care homes. If you have symptoms, you are advised to isolate for 5 days. Tests can be purchased privately.
 Your immunity loses power over time. Maximise your Covid-19 defence and get fully vaccinated. Our team is more than happy to discuss the vaccine and support you.
