How are our hospitals coping?
Whilst all our hospitals are open and ready to help you, please think before you travel to a hospital. Could you try NHS 111 first?
You can dial 111 or try www.111.nhs.uk
We all have to play our part
We need to protect our NHS so they can focus on the critically ill patients. To do that we need to remember the simple instructions:
Hands
Face
Space
Wash your hands, wear your mask and keep your distance.
Kent is currently under Tier Three restrictions. We know it is hard and frustrating, but it's important that we stick to the rules and help reduce the spread of this deadly illness. You might not have symptoms but you could still be spreading it. It is thought that 1 in 3 people may have the virus but not show any symptoms - that might be you!
Many Kent residents have been invited for mass testing. This is a great opportunity to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus in your community.
Ramsgate Port and Sheerness East Working Men's Club are already hosting mass testing for anyone who doesn't have Covid symptoms, with more sites across Kent planned in the coming days and weeks.
Have you had a test?
What was it like? Was it easy to book a slot? How was it when you went to the testing site?
