Coronavirus: Norfolk 'countryside beauty' shared for the self-isolating

29 March 2020

A photographer sharing his images on social media wants to help those self-isolating to "see the beauty of the countryside".

Brad Damms, from Norfolk, has posted, external landscape and wildlife images daily.

It follows guidance that people showing coronavirus symptoms or at high risk should isolate at home for protection.

Mr Damms said he hopes that, for people unable to go out, his photos "lift spirits and take their mind off our current situation."

The government advice is that those with symptoms of coronavirus should self-isolate.

Though others can exercise outdoors once a day, police forces have warned against heading to popular beauty spots - so Mr Damms has been sharing the beauty online.
