Keep each other safe

covid-19
In the light of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, and in light of Welsh Government recommendations, parishioners are requested, wherever possible, to take a Lateral Flow Test in good time, on each occasion, before setting out for church in the coming weeks.
 
Lateral flow test kits should be available, FREE OF CHARGE, from your local pharmacy. You can also order them online (free of charge) at https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow….
 
If the test proves positive, follow the instructions in the pack and do not come to church until you get a negative test result.
 
Many thanks for your co-operation.
Together we can slow the spread and keep each other safe.
