Surgical facemasks will once again have to be worn in most parts of the Royal Preston and Chorley and South Ribble hospitals, as Covid cases continue to surge.
The requirement has been reintroduced – with immediate effect – for patients, visitors and staff in all patient-facing, clinical areas of the two facilities. The move comes less than a month after Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust relaxed the rules on mask-wearing in line with revised national guidance which was issued at the time.
Meanwhile, the latest figures show that there were 102 inpatients at Preston and Chorley hospitals who had Covid as of Tuesday – although as reported late last month, it is estimated that only around a third of those admitted during the current wave have ended up on the wards as a direct result of being infected.
“Some of my patients asked me the other day, when I was doing a clinic, why I was still wearing a mask. And I had to explain to them that I see so many patients that I don’t want to pick something up and pass it onto [any of the others].

Speaking COVID-19: supporting COVID-19 communication and engagement efforts with people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities - BMC Public HealthBackground Since the emergence of COVID-19, issues have been raised regarding the approach used to engage with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) communities during this public health crisis. This study aimed to understand the factors impacting communication and engagement efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of crucial CaLD community stakeholders and opinion leaders. Methods Forty-six semi-structured telephone interviews were undertaken with key stakeholders who have an active role (established before the pandemic) in delivering services and other social support to CaLD communities in Australia. Results Seven key themes emerged: (1) the digital divide and how to connect with people; (2) information voids being filled by international material; (3) Differentiating established with new and emerging communities’ needs; (4) speaking COVID-19; (5) ineffectiveness of direct translations of English language resources; (6) coordination is needed to avoid duplication and address gaps and (7) recognising the improvements in governments’ approach. Conclusion Alliances must be set up that can be activated in the future to reduce issues around resource development, translation, and dissemination of messages to minimise gaps in the response. Financial assistance must be provided in a timely way to community organisations to support the development and dissemination of culturally appropriate communication materials.
