If it\u2019s positive, arrange a PCR test and stay home pending the result<\/li><li>If you are meeting friends, try to see them outside or in well ventilated, quieter places<\/li><li>Wear a mask if you are indoors in busy places, and on public transport<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our pop-up testing and vaccination vehicle also visited Ilfracombe this week on Friday and Saturday, and we&#8217;ll be visiting more places over coming weeks.
