‘WE’RE not out of the woods yet’ is the message as cases of coronavirus fall across Ceredigion. And the county council is reminding residents that it’s still as important as ever to book a Covid-19 test if they have any symptoms. “The only way to get a true picture of the coronavirus situation in our county is to hold the necessary tests,” said a Ceredigion council spokesperson. “People are reminded that it’s vitally important to book a test if they have any of the following main symptoms: high temperature, new continuous cough, and a loss or change to sense of smell or taste.
INVITES are currently being sent to Pembrokeshire residents aged 75 to 79 to receive their first Covid-19 vaccine at a mass vaccination centre. Maria Battle, Hywel Dda chair, visited the county’s two centres at Pembrokeshire Archives, Prendergast, Haverfordwest and Tenby Leisure Centre last week to thank staff and volunteers. “Our vaccination campaign, the biggest in the history of the NHS, is gathering pace daily. “It is heart-warming to hear patients talk about the hope the vaccine is giving them of reconciliation with their families and of returning to a more normal life when it is safe to do so. “We are very grateful to our local authority partners and our universities, our volunteers, the RAF and all our staff and contractors who are working over and above their normal duties to get this vaccine to as many people as quickly as possible. Together we will win our fight against this virus.”
