COVID testing and vaccination clinics are being set up in the town of Roddickton-Bide Arm in response to a recent cluster of cases in the area.

A public COVID-19 testing centre and a pop-up vaccination clinic are being offered today at the White Bay Central Health Centre.

It comes in response to a cluster of cases emerging in that area, combined with large numbers of potential contacts and relatively low vaccination rates, which are said to be below 60 per cent.

The testing centre and vaccination clinic are taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. No appointments are necessary.
