examples: My husband and I squirt on hand-sanitiser from a dispenser inside the door but beyond that it all feels pretty much like a normal Sunday.
Such is my sense of personal responsibility (and self-preservation) that I’m still using a face mask while out shopping, and I use hand-sanitisers wherever I can as well as practising a bit of discreet social distancing.
All visitors are asked to apply hand-sanitiser regularly and must continue to always wear a fluid-resistant surgical face mask, which are avilable free at hospital entrances.
