Businesses in Denbighshire are being asked to encourage staff to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of Covid-19.
Denbighshire
County Council is supporting the Welsh Government’s campaign urging employers
to encourage staff to be vaccinated.
As part of the
campaign businesses are encouraged to be as flexible as possible when it is
time for staff to have a vaccine as well as urging employees to be cautious
about misinformation and to use trusted sources if they are searching for
information or answers to questions about the vaccine.
Cllr Mark
Young, the Council’s Lead Member for Planning, Public Protection and Safer
Communities, said: “Vaccination has helped weaken the link between coronavirus
infections and serious illness and hospital admissions, but more people could fall
seriously ill if rates of vaccination do not increase further as the delta
variant continues to spread.
“Vaccines are
helping the easing of restrictions and allowing society to open up again and it
is important businesses protect themselves and their staff by encouraging
uptake of the vaccine.”
Residents are
also being reminded to work with Test Trace Protect (TTP) teams when contacted
to help stop coronavirus spreading further.
Cllr Young
added: “We are asking people to work with our TTP team when asked to do so, and
this includes to isolate when required.
“The Council
has been working with regional partners to share the message that restrictions
are different in Wales to England and we are reminding people that wearing
masks is still a requirements in Wales.
“We are still
seeing a high number of Covid-19 cases here in North Wales so it is important
everyone plays their part in acting responsibly to help keep communities safe.”
