“Enjoy the sunshine but stay safe this Easter”

Wrexham Council are asking everyone to be sensible this Easter weekend, and not to mix with other households indoors.

In a departure from recent weeks Wrexham Council have not circulated the usual weekly briefing that contains localised figures and insight, however that could emerge later today.

They have issued their general pandemic update, saying “Many of us will be looking forward to blowing off the cobwebs and getting out in the fresh air this Easter weekend. Anyone who lives in Wales can now travel anywhere within Wales, and after months of strict lockdown, it’s good to have something positive to focus on.

“Getting out in the fresh air can be good for your mental and physical health, and you can meet with up to six people from two households outdoors to socialise.

“But try to avoid crowded places. Take sensible precautions and don’t mix with other households indoors. Enjoy the sunshine, blow off the cobwebs…but stay safe.”

Wrexham as a whole is now seventeenth in Wales (and the lowest in North Wales), with 20.6 cases per 100k population on a seven-day rolling basis.

They added, “If you have coronavirus symptoms – or you’re identified as a ‘contact’ by the Track, Trace and Protect service – please make sure you self-isolate and get a test.”

“It could be the most important thing you ever do.”
