"Lack of Coronavirus PPE on June 2nd."

About: Corner Place Surgery

I went to this surgery today. I was very nervous to visit the doctors as I am shielding a member of my family.The doors were closed so that patients had to touch two doors. None of the staff on reception wore masks and they were not behind screens. There was no facility for social distancing and no restriction to the number of people entering. There was no hand gel to use. No other patients were wearing masks.

I must contrast this with another surgery nearby where the patients are only allowed to enter when invited to, otherwise doors are locked, patients are told to wear a mask and gloves, hand gel must be used, temperatures are taken on entry and staff were in full PPE.
