HM Coastguard tell Cardiff residents to stay at home
The streets of Cardiff aren't where you would
normally find HM Coastguard, but that's set to change as part of plans to help
slow and halt the transmission of COVID19. From the end of this week the
government agency will start supporting Cardiff Council and South Wales Police
by patrolling the city with a clear message, broadcast by loud hailer, to ‘Stay
home, save lives.'
Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Cllr
Peter Bradbury, said: "We're grateful to our partners at HM Coastguard for
this offer of mutual aid, which will allow us to expand on the existing patrols
being carried out by our park rangers and the police.
"It's really important that all residents
heed this message, and protect the NHS by staying at home and following the
instructions on social distancing, ultimately it will save lives."
The full message to be broadcast will say:
"Stay home, save lives. Observe social distancing outside and stay 2
metres apart. Help protect the NHS".
