Working in radiotherapy so a 'cold area' no Covid + patients but they are not tested unless symptomatic, clean gloves and aprons for each interaction, mask for up to 4 hours or sooner if it becomes moist

Oh Mandy, that is worrying xx

(((Mandy)))

I see patients in their own homes, fresh gloves, mask and apron for every visit. Donned and doffed in patient home, and then bagged and left with them to bin.

So sorry Mandy.

Thanks Hipps. That must help. However your PPE will be light years away from the cheap gloves we've been issued.

I think that’s a very good article geordieg. Constantly reminding people that things are not back to normal.

I worry about potential backlash towards young people with the perception they are ignoring rules. Cedd (12) has been out to exercise with a friend. His friend's family have been following guidelines properly. They met in a pair to exercise. We could hear them from our house. They took a ball but took shots on each other and only the ball's owner touched the ball. The whole time he was out I was terrified an adult would tell them off for congregating. Even though he did nothing wrong. Fortunately he's been fine so far.

A woman interviewed on the news on C4 earlier said "We're just getting bored of it all now."
