Shocking photos of nurses still with not enough protection as ministers tell them to kit up if they get within 1m
SHOCKING photos of nurses without personal protection equipment have emerged - as ministers said they needed to kit up if they get within one metre of sick patients.
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick told a Downing Street briefing yesterday that all of the equipment may not yet have arrived. NHS England's National Medical Director, Stephen Powis said last week: "We acknowledge there have been some issues related to the supply of equipment and we are working hard and at pace to resolve these.
"PPE is locked away in our hospital and only one person has got the key because people are panicking.
