Knowsley News 2nd Aug
With Covid cases still at high levels in Knowsley, we’re encouraging residents to continue to ‘test, isolate and vaccinate’. There’s also a new campaign aimed at 18 – 29-year-olds reminding them to play their part by getting vaccinated. Currently only 48% of young people in this age group have had their first vaccination. We hope you will support us by sharing these messages among your followers.
