A VET PRACTICE has decided not to allow indoor check-ups yet as a precaution to monitor the spread of Covid.

Edgewood Veterinary Group, which has services in Purleigh, Maldon, and Burnham, announced the news this month.

Staff will review the policy on May 31.

A spokesman said: “We have taken the decision to continue to see clients outside for the next two weeks and review at that point to ensure the numbers across the UK do continue to drop and that the Covid situation seems stable.

“We are a high-risk group in veterinary and simply want to do our very best to protect our staff and our clients so are proceeding with caution.

“We hope to bring you good news of a more business as usual approach starting in June.”
