REDDITCH residents can now get a free scooter ride to lateral flow Covid test centres in the town. Electric scooter company Bird wants to play its part in stopping the spread of the virus in Redditch. They are now helping residents get tested by offering free rides to centres until the end of February. Tests are available at two locations in the town, the County Pharmacy and at the Town Hall. All rides that end in these areas will not be charged by the company. Bird, which is Redditch s electric scooter provider, says they already ensure their vehicles are sanitised on a daily basis, but they will be adding hand sanitiser to the scooters in a bid to do more to tackle the spread of the virus.
Important update:Â
The Virginia Department of Health has launched a centralized preregistration system for COVID-19 vaccinations: vaccinate.virginia.gov. This replaces the local surveys that had been used by health districts across the state.
If you have already preregistered with your local health district, your information and place in line should be maintained. You can check on the new site to see if you are in the system.
The state has also launched a hotline, 877-VAX-IN-VA or 877-829-4682, for those who do not have computer access. Callers can speak to someone in English or Spanish, or ask for a call back in 100 languages.Â
Each of Virginia’s health districts is responsible for determining how best to safely and efficiently administer their allotments of COVID-19 vaccines in their areas based on their partners and resources.
