Alert over protective goggles Meanwhile, a model of protective goggles is being withdrawn from hospitals and care providers because they do not meet standards for coronavirus settings, the government has said. A Department of Health and Social Care spokeswoman told the BBC it had issued an alert advising against the use of "Tiger Eye protectors" in clinical settings related to Covid-19. The goggles were bought in 2009 and are now being removed from the supply chain, the spokeswoman added. "The safety of health, care and all frontline staff is our top priority... we are arranging replacement stock for trusts who need immediate supply," she said. Some 15 million goggles have been recalled, according to the Sunday Telegraph. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52602635 Cost? Will we be told. Of course not. Separately, I read that we have sent 50,000 Covid-19 samples to US for testing as there are no laboratory facilities available here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52603566 The Tories are incompetent. |
