A powerful new visual of the famous Desmond Tutu quote, created by @Juliet_Young1: ‘We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. Some of us need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in’.

Louis stop smoking with the support of the hospital QUIT team. "Stop smoking it’s not easy, but with the help of Barnsley Hospital stop smoking service, I finally did. It was the biggest challenge I’ve ever had but the best choice I’ve ever made." Contact #2423 for support

@Smithkjj Sorry to hear that kev, we too found it surprisingly emotional when the unwelcome visitor visited! Hope all stay well.

After almost two years we have finally been visited. Positive LFD in the house. We have all done PCRs. What’s most unexpected is the effect of this virus (that has been so huge in my life these 20 months) now here in my house. It is an ominous and unpleasant house guest.

Barnsley is very lucky to have our JB. Doing an amazing job. #DPH #rolemodel bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

A welcome intervention. Covid: Relaxing restrictions 'could trigger third wave', NHS bosses warn bbc.co.uk/news/health-55…

If you arrange to get tested for Covid-19, you must isolate. If you don’t think you’ve got it- why get tested? If you think you’ve got it- you have to isolate. Still hearing from people out and about after testing but before results- Isolate, Test, Stay home : IT’S that simple

“The stark reality of living through a pandemic of a highly infectious disease is that what we choose to do individually will have an impact on the risk for others, so it’s not simply a matter of individual decisions about personal risk-taking.”

Leeds update. Rate still rising - today at 66 per 100,000. Positive tests at 6%. Testing rate still increasing despite national challenges. Still high in young adults from social contacts. Please protect yourself and others this weekend .

Government should look to Liverpool for its future virus battles liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool… Great job being done by @DPH_MAshton and team at @lpoolcouncil.

Overdispersion in action. In this church cluster, a single index case resulted in 53 (!) secondary blue cases. Yet, each blue case resulted in only a few tertiary cases. In fact, the median is 0 (note "35 additional people"). What are the implications for contact tracing? 1/3

I’ve been tested! We are offering free walk in coronavirus testing for people without symptoms at Wombwell today & tomorrow and at County Way in Barnsley until 24th July. All part of our 10 point plan to hunt down the virus ⁦@BarnsleyCouncil⁩

Graph says it all. Mustn't take our low COVID19 numbers currently for granted. The virus hasn't changed. We've not eliminated it in the UK. Under the right conditions it will surge up again. Let's not follow the US please. Wear a mask, Wash your hands, Watch your distance (2m)

The impact of #Covid19 has been devastating, but important to think about the opportunities & how we rebuild & move forward together. Thanks to @HollyJe25801709 for pulling this infographic together @WestBerkshire @ADPHUK @LGAWellbeing @HealthFdn @ADPHUK #dahlgrenandwhitehead 🌈

@CrossleyStSch We all loved them, have been viewed many times......and agree felt pretty emotional watching them (or at least I did!). Thank you all.

At least 300,000 people have quit smoking, 550,000 have tried and 2.4m have cut down due to concerns around #COVID19: findings of new YouGov survey published today, as health professionals encourage smokers to #QuitforCovid bit.ly/2VYaILD @ADPHUK @PHE_uk @LGAwellbeing

@CrossleyStSch Hi Mr Mawer, I have also been planting seeds, including chilli peppers, but they haven't grown yet. I've done joe wick nearly every day. Hopefully see you soon. Enjoy your curries! Felix
