Allow people to wait inside GP surgery’s now covid rules have been relaxed
For a long period now, people have had to stand outside in the cold and rain to wait potentially 30 minutes for their GP appointment. This includes the elderly, people with children and babies. With the relevant social distancing guidelines, GP surgery’s should start allowing people to wait inside.
The government has relaxed a number of rules that allows non essential businesses to allow people inside. Doctors and GP surgery’s are an essential part of the country and should allow people to be treated with the same respect as these other establishments do.
