    “It’s been fantastic to see the buzz returning to the city as more businesses have been able to reopen, and the Quayside Market is certainly a welcome addition in terms of supporting the reopening of our city."

  17. Covid vaccines will not contravene Ramadan fastspublished at 11:14 British Summer Time 13 April 2021

    A doctor in Stockton has recorded videos in three different languages appealing for local Muslims to accept their vaccination appointments during Ramadan., external

    The holy month sees many Muslims not eating or drinking during daylight hours.

    Dr Ijaz Anwar, a consultant at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, has reassured residents that receiving a Covid vaccination during Ramadan does not conflict with fasting.

    Dr Anwar said: "This is a clear ruling and I've checked with Imams and for anybody who is hesistant about the Covid vaccine because of fasting they can check with their local Imams and all will tell you it does not contravene your fasting, so please go for your jab."

    Last year he said it was difficult observing Ramadan during the pandemic as the hospital was very busy: "I was covering Covid areas so had to be in full PPE and it was hard but I managed to keep my fast last year, so it's probably easier this year.

    "It's the first day of fasting today and it's shorter in duration so after a couple of days to concentrate, then you get used to it."
