Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Councillor David Simpson,
has provided a further coronavirus update for Wednesday, 15th April,
as follows:
‘I have been made aware that unfortunately some of the self-shielding
letters issued by Welsh Government to people most vulnerable were
mistakenly sent to the wrong addresses. The Health Minister
Vaughan Gething said the letters had now been re-sent "so people
should receive them within the next day or two".
‘I am very aware that front-line staff across our county are working
hard to support our communities and people who need assistance
with shopping, care provision and general wellbeing – thanks to you
all.
‘While at home why not consider taking the time to do that jigsaw
gathering dust, read a book or do some knitting or another craft to
keep you occupied.
‘Please pick up the phone and say hello to a neighbour, family
member or friend. It is important that we all keep in touch. A simple
phone call and a greeting can help another person get through the
day.
‘If you are lonely or need day-to-day help please do not think you are
a nuisance, pick up the phone to talk to someone. We are all here to
support each other.
‘On the subject of community support, we have launched today
“Nominate your Community Champion.”
‘Councillor Tessa Hodgson, Pembrokeshire County Council’s Cabinet
Member for Social Services, said: “We’d love to hear about your
Community Champions. Please get involved and nominate people
who are going the extra mile and doing lovely things to help others.
‘“We’d love to hear about the simple, small things that make all the
difference as well as the large scale initiatives that are cropping up.
‘“Send us details, nominations, pictures, videos – anything that
showcases the amazing people, groups and services in our county
who are doing wonderful things to help.”
‘To get in touch and nominate your Community Champion, message
via the Facebook page or email:
[email protected]
‘The Community Hub contact details are 01437 776301 or email:
[email protected]
‘Again, please remember: stay at home. Only go outside for food,
health reasons or work (but only if is not reasonably practicable to
work from home); stay two metres (6 foot) away from other people
and wash your hands as soon as you get home.
‘Anyone can spread the virus so stay safe.
