Now that restrictions are reducing and we are moving to the next stage of the roadmap many of us are likely to be leaving the home more often and meeting up with more people. To reduce the risk of spreading the virus, the government has made free rapid testing available twice a week to everyone in England. To keep the virus rates low, please make twice weekly rapid testing part of your weekly routine. You can pick up free kits there to use at home, too. There are several sites across the borough open Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm, Saturday and Sunday, 8am to 5pm. The nearest one to the Ashburnham Triangle is Daniel Defoe House by the main entrance for Greenwich DLR station.

The first phase of the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme has begun in Greenwich with the first vaccinations provided this week.  The COVID-19 (coronavirus) vaccine is safe and effective and gives the best protection against coronavirus. The NHS will be in touch when it's your turn to be vaccinated. Please help us by not contacting your GP surgery or other NHS service asking for the vaccination.  This is a long-term vaccination programme and it will likely take until at least Spring before all high-risk groups have been offered a COVID-19 vaccine. When you are contacted and offered the vaccination, please attend your booked appointment. In the meantime; remember to continue to follow the recommended guidance including  regularly washing your hands,  wearing a mask  keeping a safe distance.  Help us control the virus and save lives.
