"Whilst other local areas have seen rates reduce, coronavirus case rates have started to slowly increase in Salford" says Dr Muna Abdel Aziz, Salford Director of Public Health "This tells us that it is important that we continue to follow the restrictions and keep social contact outdoors with people outside our household and bubble.
"The rapid testing is helping keep our businesses and services open and we encourage everyone to get twice weekly tests" she adds "Our experience in workplaces and key settings is that we can work together to stop spread and reduce disruption to businesses, customers and the public when we are notified early enough. You can order home test kits online or you can collect kits locally."**
