Coronavirus
….an urgent message for all our OPAL members and volunteers
OPAL Services is
very aware of the way in which the coronavirus is spreading and of the
implications for older people with underlying health conditions, be they our
members or volunteers.
We have been
taking advice from the Council and taking account of information from Public
Health England on this very difficult matter.
We believe we
need to temporarily close our services
until we can guarantee a safer environment for the people we provide the
services for, and for our volunteers.
Our Clubs at
Frodsham, Helsby, Kelsall, Malpas, Tarporley and Tattenhall will be closed from Monday 16th March,
as will all the other community services we provide. Please get in touch with your Organiser if
you need more information and we will post further updates as soon as we have
them.
Our intention is
to reopen these services as soon as it is safe to do so.
This is a fast
moving situation and we are aware things can change at short notice. Thank you
for your support.
