Surrey County Council has launched a phased communication campaign entitled ‘Keep Surrey Safe’ to raise awareness that everyone who has symptoms of Coronavirus can now get tested and that if they test positive they need to share contacts with NHS Test and Trace to stop the spread of the virus. By continuing to follow safety guidelines and engaging in Test and Trace, we can all play our part to Keep Surrey safe and avoid local lockdowns.
We are keen to work with you to support the Government’s Test and Trace programme so that life can start to get back to normal and that our businesses can thrive again.
To support you to spread the word, we have produced the following communication materials for your use. Please email [email protected] if you require any of these materials in alternative formats.
- An Employer’s guide to Test and Trace
- Editorial for your all staff emails, intranets and/ or internal publications
- Infographic about Test and Trace to accompany the above
- Social Media assets (See side bar)
- A4 Digital Poster to print and display
If you have symptoms, book a test
If you have any symptoms – a persistent cough, high fever, or a change in smell or taste – then you can easily book a test by calling 119 or visiting www.nhs.co.uk/coronavirus
There will be a mobile testing unit in Woking for the next two weeks, as well as testing units across Surrey, however you must book your appointment before attending.
