鈥淲e would also encourage anyone considering visiting the fun fair in Flint later today or over the weekend to get a Lateral Flow Test (LFT)听 before they go, but only if they are not displaying any coronavirus symptoms. LFT kits are available from the 天涯社区 Connects office on Church Street and kits will be available at the fun fair site for its duration.听
鈥淔un fairs do not require our permission to take place as they are permitted under the current Alert level in Wales. Officers from our Community and Business Protection Team are working with the fun fair organisers and to ensure the event is covid compliant and that people can enjoy the attractions as safely as possible.鈥�
Anyone experiencing symptoms, or who has received a positive LFT result听 is reminded that everyone in their household will need to self-isolate immediately until the result of their PCR test听 is given.
