As of 9.00am on 09/03/20 there have been 13 cases of Coronavirus confirmed in Hertfordshire.
I have been informed that there is a temporary drive through service on the Harpenden Memorial Hospital site for testing people who may have Coronavirus.
It is important to note that this is NOT a drop-in-centre and only those who meet the nationally agreed criteria for a suspected case will be asked to attend and given an appointment for the test.
We are still in the ‘contain’ stage of the Government’s 4 stage contingency plan. I reiterate that our services have planned for and are ready for this situation but in order to contain this, it is important to take good hygiene precautions and follow NHS advice – if you think you have coronavirus call 111, do NOT go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
I hope that you found this information useful. I will continue to provide updates via my social media and weekly newsletters which you can sign up to here – http://eepurl.com/cT9gTv
