Mask wearing at hospital.

This came for me yesterday, note the appointment is for January 2022. Take a look at top left. It says:

"When coming to our hospitals:

Support COVID ZERO.

Please wear a mask and come alone unless you have a carer.

I will post the image as a reply below hopefully to make it bigger when you click on the "+" or image.

Hopefully ALL hospitals are going to have a similar policy after restrictions are lifted.

I also see Transport for London are making mask wearing compulsory as well.

Yes I agree, I am hoping that hospitals carry on with the mask wearing and to come alone unless you have a carer which does limit the amount of people in waiting areas.

I have an appointment next week and received similar instruction.

They have given you a glimpse into the future, G2.😷

IMO it makes total sense to be wearing your 😷 face mask. We should all know by now that it is to protect others, who then also protect others etc.....etc. Good post 2greys @. 🐿🌈😷.

Covid will be with us for long time, we will find that masks within health facilities & services will be compulsory.Interesting I received an update letter from Oxford trials stating with Covid understanding evolving they expect to stop the covid testing trials in April 2022......

Although by then who knows what new variant will be on go by then.

🤔

I suspect general public testing will be watered down (only my own thoughts) which dishearten me a bit... Again we will have to wait & see

Last week I received an interview invite for July 2022!

What I did was I rang them up to ask them is it July 2022 or July 2021 and yes it's July 2021 and it's tomorrow at 1.20!

I was in tears of laughter over this typing error though!

Thank heavens. I was thinking only this morning that travelling on the tube to & from work is appalling enough in summer time. To have to still use it with unmasked passengers would be like playing Russian roulette 🤯😷

I was at the dentist the other day and need a follow up appointment, so I asked what they were planning to do once the restrictions were lifted.He told me that they followed the nhs guidance and that nothing will change.

COVID screening, masks, surgery cleaned and left vacant between appointments, one way system, locked door etc

I felt very reassured.

It is official policy at the UHS.

I’ve got an opticians appt in 6 weeks post tomorrow’s cataract op. They mentioned masks still required etc. I was delighted!

Hello I took my wife to the Belfast City hospital last week and not everyone in the main tower block was wearing masks I was shocked.

I have had 2 hospital appointments recently first one my daughter wad allowed to accompany me second my husband came in with me. They are not my carers. Also didnt have to wear a mask. I have not worn a mask at any time as it restricts my breathing. Also my optician appointment didnt have to wear a mask. I live in Wales . xxSheila 😷💕
