Residents encouraged to take regular Covid-19 tests to protect friends and loved ones EVERY resident in Warrington is urged to get tested for coronavirus to ensure they are not passing it on to other people. With lockdown restrictions easing further on Monday, it remains vitally important to take regular tests for Covid-19, even if you are not showing any symptoms. As of next week, non-essential retail, hairdressers and nail salons and libraries and community centres will reopen their doors to the public. Hospitality venues will also be able to serve people outdoors only, with there being no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcohol and no curfew.

WARRINGTON’S director for public health has issued a warning to residents not to drop their guard as we head out of lockdown. Thara Raj is urging people to follow the rules in place as the number of new coronavirus cases has increased in some parts of the borough over the last week. Although the latest seven-day case total for Warrington up to March 11 was 151, fewer than previous weeks, there are some areas where the number of cases is starting to increase. Covid-19 infection rates are also higher in Warrington than other neighbouring authority areas, which is a concern if this pattern continues.
Council reiterates ‘stay at home’ plea ahead of schools reopening to reduce Covid risk RESIDENTS in Warrington are being strongly urged to continue stay at home to help reduce coronavirus infection rates even further prior to schools reopening. All schools and colleges will open from Monday in the first stage of the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown. Despite good progress against the virus in the town over recent weeks, Warrington Borough Council is warning that infection rates are still high. As a result, residents are encouraged to continue to stay at home as much as possible and to remember the basics of washing your hands regularly, wearing a face covering where necessary and making space.
