Most people who get infected with this virus have a mild to moderate flu like illness that does not require treatment. Our more vulnerable groups can get severe illness and may need hospital care so it is essential that we slow the spread of this virus and keep hospital capacity available to deal with the virus and other health emergencies.

By following strict procedures at the surgery we can help slow the spread and keep people safe.

We understand that people are going to feel anxious and that service is going to very different and disrupted but this is an extraordinary time and we all need to do our bit.

We have a fantastic community in Halswell and we all need to work together through this very difficult time.
