What is coronavirus? How do you catch it? What happens if you do?

We've put together a free information book explaining coronavirus to children, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, and with expert input from @GrahamMedley. #WorldHealthDay

I find this photo of me waiting for our first patient both sad and moving. I wish we didn’t have to be here.

We have been informed some parents have received an email stating:

‘As schools will be closing, if you're entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we'll make sure you're supported’.

This is a scam email - do not respond, and delete immediately.

Advice for the housing, construction & building maintenance industries:
🔹If you can work from home, do so.
🔹If you are working on site, you can continue to do so. But follow Public Health England guidance on social distancing.
🔹Outside of work, remember to #StayHomeSaveLives

Excellent science communication tool. The creator needs to be identified and given appropriate credit. This is how self-isolation and quarantine breaks the chain of infection.

This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.

I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19

Don't rely on seeing airborne dust to decide if there is an issue, as fine respirable-sized particles are not easily seen. If dust is visible in the air, or the workplace is contaminated with settled dust, airborne dust concentration is likely to be greater than exposure limits.

When we know so much about the danger of lead why do so many still risk their health and that of their families and others by ignoring the facts? Check before disturbing any lead containing materials!
