Firefighters in Wiltshire have started working with the county's ambulance service to help them during the pandemic.

Fire staff are being trained to drive ambulances if South Western Ambulance Service has staff shortages over the coming months.

Chief fire officer for Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue, Ben Ansell said: "It might be that we reduce some of our fire engines in order to maintain critical emergency ambulances and have firefighters driving them as a crew of two, with a paramedic."

He added that firefighters in Chippenham were also helping ambulance staff by unpacking and assembling masks and respirators - equipment they're well used to working with.

They're also testing the PPE kit to make sure ambulance staff are being properly protected and are confident how to use it.

Nurses have issued an urgent plea to help them care for the most vulnerable people in the community as the pressure rises in the wake of COVID-19.

The team in Gloucestershire have asked for funding so they can continue visiting and caring for people, at the end of life, around the clock.

In a statement, Longfield Chief Executive Simon Bernstein said: “The current situation is putting every part of our society under pressure and Longfield is no different.

“Whilst the hospice is rising to the immediate challenge and supporting the work of the NHS, we must do everything in our power to be here to deliver free care and support for patients with life-limiting illness and their families next week, next month and for the years to come.”

Here's a look at how prayers now take place at Downside Abbey, in line with the government guidelines on social distancing.

A spokesman for the abbey said: "The requirement for “social distancing” has, of course, affected our life at Downside.

"Monks are engaged in pastoral work in the local parish and in neighbouring schools, and this can no longer take place in person.

"Instead, however, these monks are engaging with parishioners and others by phone and email.

"Anyone involved in teaching in a nearby school is preparing work for pupils to do at home, so that they can keep up with the syllabus.

"In the choir and refectory we are sitting further apart, and we are, of course, staying within the enclosure and not leaving the grounds unless absolutely necessary."

Surely the wildlife must be thinking that the human race is now extinct?

There have been numerous reports across the world of animal-life returning to areas where they have not been seen for years.

In Venice it was the dolphins... in Bath, it seems, otters may have returned to the river in the centre of town.

The shy mammal was spotted in the River Avon this morning, at the Western Riverside development, by resident David Reid as he walked his dog, Logan.

There are some upsides, perhaps?

Staff at Wiltshire's Great Western Hospital, in Swindon, have reported they are "concerned", "frightened", and "in tears" over a lack of safety equipment.

The GMB union says it has had increasing numbers of calls, from the NHS staff it represents, worried about the provision and distribution of personal protection equipment (PPE) for those dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

They say it creates a "frightening picture" for clinical staff at GWH.

Incidents have been reported of "nursing staff being in tears as they look after COVID-19 positive patients, finding they are issued with basic surgical masks, aprons and a pair of goggles."

"There are also numerous incidences of having patients coughing uncontrollably on them, resulting in having droplets of spit onto hair, face, neck and arms. This is leaving nursing staff visibly scared and concerned not only for their own health but, that of family as well," the GMB said.

They warned that more healthcare staff will be infected and unable to work if the situation is not remedied quickly.

The weekly Bath Farmers Market at Green Park Station is to go ahead this weekend despite the coronavirus crisis.

Organisers say they have put in strict social distancing measures to ensure it is safe.

A spokesman said: "We will support the market so it can continue, as long as it is still safe to do so, and it returns again this Saturday with measures in place to keep everyone safely distanced and with hand sanitiser stations placed at the entrances and exits of the market.

"Traders too will be spaced out to allow safe space for them and their customers."

The event was due to take place on 8th August 2020.

"We had hoped to hold off from making this decision until the end of June, but the reality of the lockdown we are now in means that we face weeks and months of uncertainty, and we couldn’t have planned for the event during the next few months with the uncertainty hanging over us," said it's organising committee in a statement.

"It is vitally important that, as a community, we reach out to one another and that each of us ensures our family, friends, loved ones and neighbours are supported, and that they are safe," they added.
