Please let all the pharmacy staff be tested for COVID-19
Include all the pharmacy staff in testing for COVID-19 infection. We should have the same easy access to tests as healthcare workers in hospitals. Please extend the list of people entitled for testing.
Community pharmacy teams, including pharmacists, technicians, dispensers, general assistants and even drivers - we are ALL literally at the front-line of dealing with the effects of coronovirus pandemic.
We are working relentlessly to ensure that all the medicines will be dispensed safely for all patients. Our teams are exposed to ALL people coming to us as a first line of contact when they are unwell - we are at VERY HIGH RISK OF EXPOSURE. We need protection and easy access to tests.
