thedailyecho--2020-07-14--Coronavirus: Face masks to become mandatory in shops

AFTER weeks of mixed messages , the Government has announced it will soon be mandatory to wear a face covering in supermarkets and other shops in England .
Michael Gove said over the weekend that the public could be trusted to use their “ common sense ” in choosing whether to cover their nose and mouth , but now it seems only the threat of a fine will do .
Here is what you need to know about the new rules .
When does the law come into force ?
As of July 24 , you must have your nose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or risk a £100 fine – reduced to £50 if it is paid within 14 days .
It will be up to police to dish out penalties and not business owners or shop workers , although they are being asked to encourage customers to comply .
The regulations will be made under the Public Health ( Control of Disease ) Act 1984 .
Why are we being told to wear face coverings almost four months after we went into lockdown ?
The Government has been reluctant to enforce the wearing of face coverings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not protect the wearer but may protect others if people are infected but have not yet developed symptoms .
Some of the Government ’ s most senior advisers have warned that face coverings can give people a false sense of security and lead to over-reliance on “ ineffective homemade masks ” rather than thorough hand hygiene .
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ( Sage ) says incorrect use of coverings – such as putting them on incorrectly , touching the face more than normal and reusing dirty ones – could increase the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use as a face covering ?
Face coverings are not the same as face masks .
The Government has said coverings can be made from scarves , bandanas or other fabric items , as long as they cover the mouth and nose .
Dozens of YouTube tutorials have been published showing how to fashion your own , while official advice says face coverings should allow the wearer to breathe comfortably and be tied behind the head to provide a “ snug fit ” .
What about surgical face masks and visors ?
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical-grade personal protective equipment ( PPE ) masks to ensure these remain available for frontline healthcare workers .
Does everyone have to wear a face covering in public in England now ?
There are a few exceptions to the new rules about face coverings in shops – children under 11 and people with certain disabilities and breathing conditions will be exempt .
It adds to the list of places we have to be covered up which currently includes all public transport as well as all hospital visitors and outpatients in England .
Official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wear a face covering in enclosed public spaces where social distancing is not possible .

Face coverings are advised in Wales in situations “ where social distancing is not possible ” , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be obligatory on public transport from July 27 .

After checking the bus website and finding that wearing a face covering was mandatory I was fairly confident about travelling.
However, the number 11 bus from Kingsclere Avenue had four passengers and no one was wearing a mask.
Also, there was no sign telling us that we should.
The seats were labelled to keep people apart which I thought was good.
The return journey from Itchen Bridge was number 17 double-deck blue bus.
No markers on seats and two out of five wearing a mask.
This virus is highly dangerous and there will be a second wave if people do not comply with guidance and the law.

thedailyecho--2020-07-14--Winchester residents probe health bosses on future of city's hospital

HEALTH chiefs were told to “ fess up and be honest ” as they came under the spotlight from Winchester residents airing fears of plans for a new hospital .
Over 160 people logged onto an engagement session focussing on health services in the city and the future of Royal Hampshire County Hospital .
The community meeting on Thursday was the first specifically for Winchester under the Hampshire Together programme which will see a health campus including a new hospital built to serve mid and north Hampshire .
As previously reported senior staff at the Romsey Road site have expressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A & E and consultant-led maternity care , these were echoed by a number of residents .
Jenny McRobert said : “ Winchester Hospital has provided me and my family with a first-class service over many years .
It is an excellent local hospital where we have had the most up to date treatment .
So why are we even thinking of closing or reducing this excellent local facility .
Others pressed health bosses to reveal the actual proposal , but the team insisted no decisions had yet been made .
Chief medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There really isn ’ t a plan at the moment and what we know is we do have some challenges that we need to think about how we address , but we want to work with you about how we can do that.
” She continued : “ As you will know we run two emergency departments .
They are both small medium sized departments and I have to say we do really struggle to staff them .
“ We recognise that sometimes people do have to wait longer to be seen and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so we really need to think about all sorts of emergency care.
” Dr Alloway also said that through the engagement sessions it has emerged that expectant mothers would like more choice , but she said the trust is unable to deliver that while still running consultant-led maternity units .
Others also aired concerns about the older population not being able to travel to wherever the new hospital is based to be able to access specialist care .
And Winchester and Chandler ’ s Ford MP Steve Brine said : “ At the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new hospital because that is part of this and that will create a centre of gravity and that will have an impact on services in Winchester , you have to be honest about that .
“ You have to fess up and be honest about that because you are not going to create acute , obstetric and consultant-led maternity care at lets say Junction 7 ( Dummer , Basingstoke ) and then again at Winchester and then again at few miles down the road in Southampton .

” Another engagement session specifically focussing on Winchester is expected to take place in August .

Over 160 people logged onto an engagement session focussing on health services in the city and the future of Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
The community meeting on Thursday was the first specifically for Winchester under the Hampshire Together programme which will see a health campus including a new hospital built to serve mid and north Hampshire.
As previously reported senior staff at the Romsey Road site have expressed concerns to the Chronicle about closures of A&E and consultant-led maternity care, these were echoed by a number of residents.
Jenny McRobert said: “Winchester Hospital has provided me and my family with a first-class service over many years. It is an excellent local hospital where we have had the most up to date treatment. So why are we even thinking of closing or reducing this excellent local facility.
Others pressed health bosses to reveal the actual proposal, but the team insisted no decisions had yet been made.
Chief medical officer Dr Lara Alloway said: “There really isn’t a plan at the moment and what we know is we do have some challenges that we need to think about how we address, but we want to work with you about how we can do that.”
She continued: “As you will know we run two emergency departments. They are both small medium sized departments and I have to say we do really struggle to staff them.
“We recognise that sometimes people do have to wait longer to be seen and treated than they ought to be, so we really need to think about all sorts of emergency care.”
Dr Alloway also said that through the engagement sessions it has emerged that expectant mothers would like more choice, but she said the trust is unable to deliver that while still running consultant-led maternity units.
Others also aired concerns about the older population not being able to travel to wherever the new hospital is based to be able to access specialist care.
And Winchester and Chandler’s Ford MP Steve Brine said: “At the end of the day you are building a new hospital because that is part of this and that will create a centre of gravity and that will have an impact on services in Winchester, you have to be honest about that.
“You have to fess up and be honest about that because you are not going to create acute, obstetric and consultant-led maternity care at lets say Junction 7 (Dummer, Basingstoke) and then again at Winchester and then again at few miles down the road in Southampton. You are just not going to do that.
“No regulator in the world, let alone any minister would sign that off, so there is an implication to doing this and there will be winners and there will be losers out of doing this.”
But some agreed that Winchester hospital needs improvement. Carol Deans said: “Much as I love RHCH it is not the easiest site to get to or get around.
“If a better site can be found for services that lots of people need to travel for that shouldn’t be discounted, just because no one wants to lose the RHCH.”
Another engagement session specifically focussing on Winchester is expected to take place in August.

The news comes as plans to demolish the mills were first unveiled earlier this year and were followed by a petition signed by more than 1,000 people calling on ABP to find an alternative for the site.
Campaigners said the demolition of the building will be “a tragedy” for the city.
ABP said the demolition of the building will start “shortly” and port bosses say the space “is needed” to preserve and grow employment in Southampton.
