Coronavirus testing has been much in the news this week. I wanted to share with you the latest update from Stuart Keeble, Director of Public Health Suffolk: “There is currently a high national demand for testing. As a result, Suffolk residents may experience difficulty in securing a test.” Given this current situation, Testing – Suffolk update – 11 September 2020. I hope this will be helpful for you
Two of the ways I will be unwinding after this week will be meeting up, socially distanced of course, with a friend to go for a long walk with our dogs – and reading. I was pleased to hear Suffolk Libraries has announced that browsing is returning to libraries during September. This is the latest step in the careful reintroduction of services in Suffolk’s libraries. Around half of libraries have reintroduced browsing already, with one-way systems in place and limitations on the number of customers allowed in library buildings in any one time. Libraries are now offering PC access and printing/copying and the aim is for all of them to offer browsing by the end of September. More information available here: Browsing returns to libraries
