Is that as a precaution, or do you know if new cases are on the up again?.

Cases on the up, especially among staff, several repeat sufferers.

Guess that must be one of the newest variants?. Concerning thing is this time of year, windows open, fresh air etc, you'd presume cases would be at their lowest of the year?.

Depressing seeing healthcare facilities bringing back masks just a couple of weeks after dropping guidance. It's like as soon as cases go up again, they think "what can we do?" and masks are just an easy way of being seen to be doing something. Even my local vets is asking customers to wear them again due to staff absences. It's pretty clear by now they make no difference.

Hope you recover soon mate. Just goes to show that the little rascal is still with us and thriving sadly. And the hospital has just reintroduced masks throughout it estate buildings.

Cheers mate. I will never say it's just a bad cold again. Three out of the six of us are positive.

When are you all due to fly back?.

Was back on Tuesdsy but only felt rough yesterday. Update is four out of six now positive.

Have had it a couple of times now, once before the official outbreak, and again at the end of march. Had all three jabs. Myself, my good lady and a friend (a few hundred miles away, so no direct contact) all suffering with a strange vertigo (among a few other things) which apparently is now a recognised long covid symptom. Getting fed up with it now.

Possibly you all got it from someone infected on the flight?. If that was the case, then probably others on board also now got it.

We were on different flights there and back, two on one and four on the ofher.

I have a good idea where we may have got it.

We travelled up to London today on the C2C line. There was a tannoy announcement asking passengers to wear masks on platforms and on trains for the entirety of the journey. Don't know whether that is a throw back or a new message.

I would think that's a new message. I've noticed in the Women's Euro's, they're all wearing masks again.

It seems to me, the public aren't getting much information anymore, yet (from what I've read on here the last week), those in the know are masking up again.

Our surgery has never relaxed the mask wearing routine. It has been compulsory since lockdown finished and still is.

Maidstone Hospital yesterday was wear a mask only if you have symptoms.
