Even though you don't need a face covering in a public setting, you still need one when accessing NHS services. We are reminding visitors to site to continue to wear surgical masks and observe social distancing, as well as to wash their hands regularly. Thank you.

This is a really important message: Please continue to wear your face masks when accessing any healthcare and if you require healthcare at home please wear a mask while the teams are with you. #MidlandsIPC #BecauseWeCare
Even though you don't need to wear a face covering in a public setting in England, you will still need to when visiting NHS services. Wearing a face covering will help protect patients, families and our NHS staff and volunteers while visiting our sites.

Given today’s changes to mask wearing guidance, I’m hopeful this image might convince the 75% of people in the supermarket this morning, who weren’t wearing their mask, to pop it on! #WearingMasksSavesLives

Why are so many people wearing aprons and gloves for vaccinating? Against IPC guidance, waste of PPE, environmental waste increase. False sense of safety. Clean your hands and get those watches off!! – at Milton Keynes, England
