Redbridge door-to-door engagement
Published: 18 December 2020
Redbridge has one of the highest COVID-19 infection rates in London and as a result Redbridge Council has recently embarked on a new project to help inform and protect the borough during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Redbridge Council staff are currently going door to door between 10am and 6pm. This will last until the end of January to provide key information and advice on COVID-19 and to offer a free home testing service.
Residents don’t have to have symptoms to take the test. All tests will be delivered and picked up conveniently from your doorstep by a trained team. Residents will be offered one test per household. They will wait outside your property while you take the test and register it on your mobile device.
The team will:
- be fully equipped with PPE and London Borough of Redbridge printed high visibility vests
- be wearing the appropriate PPE
- maintain a safe distance
- assist you as much as possible in administering your test and registering it
- have ID stating they are working on behalf of Redbridge
They will not:
- Ask you for any personal details
- Request payment for any services
- Require access to your property
If you have concerns about anyone knocking on your door claiming they are working on behalf of the Redbridge you can call 0208 554 5000 for confirmation.
