“Coronavirus continues to be a major threat to public health, and new variants are circulating,” said Stuart Bourne, Director of Public Health for Powys Teaching Health Board. “Cases of the Delta variant have now been confirmed in Powys. The Delta variant first appeared in parts of the north of England, including Bedford, Bolton and Blackburn and has spread rapidly since then. There is no evidence yet that it is more severe, but it is more transmissible. This means that everyone should follow the simple rules of Hands - Face – Space, and everyone who is eligible should complete the full two dose course of vaccination.”
“Throughout June, PCR tests for people with COVID-19 symptoms continue to be available from our testing sites in Brecon, Builth Wells, Machynlleth, Newtown, Welshpool and Ystradgynlais. You can also order these tests by post.
