Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Councillor David Simpson,
has provided a further coronavirus update for Wednesday, 8th April,
as follows:
‘Once again I want to reinforce this week’s message which is “stay
home and save lives.”
‘Over the Easter weekend Council officers will be visiting
accommodation providers and checking “hot spots” to monitor and
assess compliance with the legislation.
‘Enforcement action may be considered where it is necessary and
proportionate. I can confirm that our officers will also be liaising with
the police.
‘During these unprecedented times we are asking people not to visit
Pembrokeshire. We are all aware that our county is a beautiful place
and it will still be here awaiting visitors once this pandemic is over.
‘Everyone should avoid all unnecessary travel.
‘I will be on Radio Pembrokeshire tomorrow (Thursday) to emphasise
the Authority’s messages. I want to ensure that our key messages,
service updates and Covid-19 developments are shared with as many
people as I can across our county.
‘We have a dedicated Covid-19 page on our website which is
constantly updated.
‘I urge you all to view the information published to enable you to keep
up to date with developments, service updates and press releases.
‘I want to thank our web team and press department for all their hard
work in keeping the information flowing as I am aware that these
updates are keeping people well informed. I have also received
messages thanking us for the updates which are much appreciated
and they have been forwarded to the teams.
‘We are appealing for people to join our Social Care emergency
response team during this challenging time to help support some of
the most vulnerable members of our community.
‘We urgently need a large number of home care (domiciliary) and
residential care workers to work with us on a temporary basis starting
immediately. Full details can be found on our website at:

‘I want to thank everyone who is helping to tackle this virus. What I
am seeing and hearing is heart-warming. Everyone is pulling together
and I want our communities to know we are all here to support each
other.
‘Remember: together we are stronger and together we will get
through this.
‘Public Health Wales is updating and adding to their resources
regularly. Please find all assets here:
