"Thank you for protecting vulnerable people"

I called 999 this morning due to chest symptoms. The paramedic arrived wearing an FFP3 mask (as was I). I thanked him for wearing it, as I have vulnerable family members and we are trying to keep Covid out of our home. But I thought it was worth writing here as well, to say a sincere thank you to him and the NIAS for protecting vulnerable people (and your staff too). It means a lot. 

Please supply these masks to all paramedics and indeed all healthcare workers, for infection control. Studies show that they are effective at reducing transmission of Covid, and other contagious diseases since as flu and TB. They could save the NHS far more than they cost.
