COVID-19 NEWCIS Statement

NEWCIS are following guidance from local authorities and Public Health Wales on a daily basis and acting accordingly.

COVID-19 NEWCIS Statement

NEWCIS wants to ensure that we can support carers through the imminent difficulties that Coronavirus is currently causing. Although the NEWCIS offices will close from Friday 20th March 2020 to support the prevention of the infection spreading, the staff will be working from home and will be contactable via their mobiles, emails and the website.

NEWCIS will be operating a “Keep In Touch” telephone service for carers who may need to speak to someone about their situation. We will be working with the local authorities in Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham to support carers and vulnerable people in our communities. All NEWCIS events, groups and drop ins are cancelled until further notice.

Public Health Wales Statement

“The public has a crucial role to play in containing the spread of the virus, and we are encouraging people to wash their hands more often, and for 20 seconds. Use soap and water or a hand sanitiser when you get home or into work, blow your nose, sneeze or cough, eat or handle food. This advice will help you to protect yourself and others.” We should also carry tissues to prevent the spread of the virus.

For the most up to date information and guidance go to the Public Health Wales website.
