NHS patients, staff and visitors must continue to wear face coverings in healthcare settings
16/07/2021
Local Barking & Dagenham GP and North East London Clinical Commissioning Group chair - Dr Jagan John - has emphasised the message from England’s chief nurse that everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing rules, even though Covid restrictions end in many settings in England from Monday 19th July.
Dr John said: “Wearing a face covering and keeping a safe distance from others continue to play a vital role in protecting all our patients and staff. As restrictions are cautiously lifted from Monday, it is essential that everyone continues to play their part in limiting the spread of infection – particularly with a number of critical care patients being treated for Covid-19 in our local hospitals. This also highlights the need for anyone who has not already had a Covid-19 vaccination to come forward for theirs as soon as possible.”
