Applications are now open for a scheme offering free bus travel for everyone in Scotland under the age of 22. news.stv.tv/scotland/free-…

Reusable, safer masks are still required for our health care professionals working with Covid positive patients, disposal PPE is not good for the environment or the safety of our frontline workers.

Please continue to follow the guidance on how to keep yourself and others safe. Stay home if you can and look out for each other.

Great help from Abbeyfield Trustee, Peter, who is delivering to 7 Scottish Abbeyfield homes. Thanks also to Graeme for multiple deliveries to base from where they will be sent out. 1,400 isolation gowns and 80,000 masks, donated to this charity, during the pandemic. Thanks donors

Eight deliveries on Sunday to Care Homes. Thanks to Phil and Susan, and Graeme for giving up their weekend to do this. Much appreciated.

Are you a health or social care worker who failed fit testing for ffp3 protection? We’d like to help. Please complete this short survey and share far and wide. Small faced people: a survey about lack of well fitting and adequate ppe: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

A recent survey shows only 8% of healthcare workers feel fully confident they will get the PPE they need as COVID cases continue to rise. Please #retweet so we can reach as many frontline workers as possible. #PPE #PPEshortages #NHS #MedTwitter #Nurses #StaySafeNotSilent

This couldn’t have happened, be happening without our fantastic volunteer drivers. Very, very proud of our community for rallying round in this way. Thanks here to Alison (sorry I missed this photo coming in), and Sylvia and Rachel, both have helped right through the pandemic.

Thank you, Rachel, for getting a couple of large deliveries out. Also thanks to Chrustine for covering a Edinburgh.

Today’s vaccine news is very positive & offers light at the end of the tunnel. But until large numbers can be vaccinated - which will still take some time - it is down to all of us to suppress the virus & save lives by sticking with all the rules and guidance 🙏 #FACTS
