MESSAGE FPOR PARENTS IN THE PENDERRY AND MYNYDDBACH WARDS

Dear parent/carer,

I have been asked to share with you the information below about a mobile testing unit that is visiting the Penderry and Mynyddbach wards for the next seven days. It will offer a convenient drop-in testing option for anyone with either the ‘classic’ signs of coronavirus or other symptoms they may feel are unusual for them or their child.

The health board is keen that as many people in our community are aware of the facility as possible so has asked that schools, libraries and other community resources share the information widely.

Regards,
Simon Davies
