Community coronavirus testing in Norfolk and Waveney now available to “key workers” (and/or household members with symptoms).
The NHS in Norfolk and Waveney is offering local coronavirus tests to key workers* such as teachers or food industry staff, to help them remain in work and continue to support their communities. This also applies to members of their household who may have coronavirus symptoms causing the key worker to self-isolate.
Testing will take place at three locations in Norfolk and Waveney:
(See below if you would rather be tested at Ipswich, Stansted or Peterborough)
To book using the Norfolk and Waveney service:
People on the government key workers* list who need to be tested should ask their employer or line manager to register their organisation by emailing NorfolkRegistercovidtesting@nnuh.nhs.uk with their (employer) name, job title and contact number. The registration team at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital will then contact the employer to register their organisation so they their key workers can then book an appointment. The employer will be given a unique reference number and further instructions.
All applications will be checked to make sure people are well enough to attend a testing centre, and eligible for a test in line with Public Health England guidance.
People will receive their test results within 48 hours or less, either directly or via their employer’s occupational health service, together with initial advice about to what to do next.
Appointments at Ipswich, Stansted and Peterborough or other centres
If you wish to be tested at any of the national drive-through testing centres, such as Ipswich, Stansted, Peterborough and elsewhere, then you must use the national booking service. For self-referrals, this is via https://self-referral.test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk.
Who are key workers?
* Key workers include many people working in education, transport, many public services, energy, power and water/sewerage workers, and those working to provide, distribute or sell food. The precise definition is available on this government web page: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested#key-workers.

With the current shielding and self-isolation in place for some families it is important that those who now have to live with domestic abuse in their lives are made aware they won’t be forgotten and we will still continue to support them.
Domestic Abuse leaflet from the police
Victims of Domestic Abuse: You are not alone
We are acutely aware conronavirus will have a serious impact on women, children and men who already face domestic abuse in their homes.
Fears over jobs, financial pressure, school closures, working from home and all the other current changes to our day to day lives are likely to result in an increase in domestic abuse.
We do not want you to suffer in silence. As the situation changes daily, we want to ensure you feel you have someone there who can help.
If you are in immediate danger you should call 999 or call the police on 101.
More information on the Norfolk Constabulary website.

We, at Algy’s farm shop in Bintree, are supporting local communities with a supply of groceries. We have stock of most things, but supply is variable.
We have set up a “while you wait drive-through service”: come to the shop, pick up the grocery list, choose your items, hand the list through the window, wait while we pick and pack, you’ll be called over to pay and collect.
We have implemented this to keep a safe distance between staff and to enable customers to not be in close proximity.
We are looking at rolling out a delivery service too, but this will take a week or so.
Please see an example of the Algy’s Food Order Form. All items are subject to availability.
