House removals and face masks

Indeed - so all I can do is minimise the inevitable risks as much as possible.

Not silly Illte - I think we have all been bombarded with so very many facts and figures and advice that it tends to result in brain ache!

facts and figures
Interesting news this morning that up until June 18 anyone who had been tested positive for C19 but then subsequently went into hospital for something completely unrelated was counted as a C19 admittance. So what are the true figures?
These numbers were calculated by PHE.

Our removal company have said the men will be wearing masks, visors and wearing gloves. We will be allowed to give them tea and biscuits and let them use the loo.

Removal men who feel uncomfortable wearing masks are feeble! Compare manual hard work for long stretches of time.

I don't entirely believe masks are useless to protect the wearer. Although the main use of masking is public health I think there is a slight protection for the wearer too.

Edited: health workers who do sweaty manual exhausting work while wearing masks.

I have a lot of sympathy for the removers having to wear masks - but I do think they should wear them.

Be prepared for them to use the toilet. Maybe put kitchen towel in the bathroom.

There are plenty of trees around!

As one of those health care workers who wear a mask all day and do manual work, carrying people downstairs and doing cpr I still feel sorry for removal men having to wear masks and I certainly do not think they are feeble for struggling with it. Also if they are not provided with enough masks to change them as soon as they get damp then they are worse than useless.
I do hope they are provided with enough drinks and decent lavatory facilities, mask wearing is very dehydrating even in cooler weather.

dizzyblonde thanks, that's interesting. I saw a photo of Prince Harry yesterday lifting boxes at some event. His material mask was all wet under the chin and round the gills. He needs to learn to replace it when damp.
