There may be a #heatwave at the moment, but the water is still cold. If you got into difficulty in cold water, would you know what to do? Your instinct is to thrash around, but cold water shock can make you gasp uncontrollably. Instead, #FloatToLive.

1) Walk-ins are available at Greendale Vaccination Centre today from now until 11.30pm. Please note that the centre can get very busy and due to high demand & the need to ensure we can maintain social distancing, we may have to pause walk ins at intermittent parts of the day.

@10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson Wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you do not normally meet. Gov.uk page advice today on website. Who thought this reception was a good idea and then thought let's ignore their own guidance. #BeggarsBelief

If you receive a positive result which means you have to self isolate for 10 days, how can you be eligible to play in an international game one day later? Not setting a good example of following national guidance @UKHSA @EnglandRugby

COVID-19 cases are rising and winter is drawing closer. 1) If you have not been vaccinated, now is the time. 2) If you are offered a booster please take up the offer. 3) Ventilation, masks in crowded indoor spaces and hand washing remain important.

Food for thought about hand wash basins. Only 4% of use is actually hand washing. What are we using them for? Activities they're not designed for and are contributing to risk of harm yo patients and staff @IPCT_RDE #IP2021
