Oldham’s walk in centre has closed ‘until further notice’ as health chiefs take emergency steps to protect people from the spread of coronavirus.
However a new ‘Covid assessment hub’ has been launched at the Integrated Care Centre (ICC) on New Radcliffe Street which will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It officially opened at 8am today (Monday, March 30). The new hub will care for patients from across the borough with potential coronavirus symptoms.
People who suspect they have the virus will be given advice over the phone, by video and through face-to-face consultations or GP home visits ‘where and when appropriate'.
