Doctors and nurses in the NHS urgently need PPE (Personal Protection Equipments.
NHS staff were not given PPE in a proactive way, but only when they examine a patient suspected of Corona Covid 19. Doctors and Nurses feel very threatened to fight the Corona. Please react urgently.
The government can force the NHS trusts to immdiatly supply the health care professionals with appropriate protective equipments before they catch the virus. If it is too late many will fall sick and others may self isolate. Until now no evidence of PPE in non acute trusts and some acute trusts.
