There are concerns over Covid and flu
People are once again being encouraged to wear face masks and stay at home if they feel unwell amid the current winter pressures and strain on the NHS. Due to the current rates of Covid, flu and Strap A in hospitals across the country, there is concern over how people can protect themselves and others.
Retired Horace Staniland, 69, of Worksop, said: "Me and my wife are fully vaccinated and I have a mask in my pocket and my wife has one too. If we go anywhere and we feel a bit uncomfortable we put them on. If someone told me to wear one I would, and if someone told me not to wear one but I wanted to, then I would."
His friend Tony Hurst, 57, of Newark, added: "If you have it use a bit of common sense. I'm an anti-vaxer myself, I've had Covid and I am still here, but I respect other people's opinions."
