Playing our part in the fight against Covid-19
Our
teams across the UK played their part in the fight against Covid-19 over the
long Easter weekend, providing help and support to other emergency services,
local authorities and NHS bodies.
Dozens
of coastguard rescue teams were asked through local resilience forums to patrol
beaches and coastal hotspots, provide safety advice and report any incidents or
large groups of people to local police.
Coastguards
were also out and about on the streets of Cardiff supporting Cardiff Council
and South Wales Police by patrolling the city with a clear message, broadcast
by loud hailer, to 📢 #StayHomeSaveLives.
By
providing mutual aid to other category 1 responders we are supporting frontline
services, providing help to the vulnerable in our communities and supporting government
policy.
