Mandatory Requirements for UK’s Exit Strategies From Lockdown
The UK implemented a complete lockdown on 24 March to prevent a spike in Covid-19 cases that would overload intensive care unit (ICU) and potentially cause half a million deaths.
The Covid-19 exit strategies for the lockdown should be consciously planned to ensure the degree of control over the bizarre virus achieved so far is not only rolled back but overwhelmed the NHS.
The exit strategies for the upliftment of the lockdown should include following:
1. Additional containment plan such as Contact Tracing, that would help to control its spread to a manageable degree. Complete lockdown is currently the only option available but if uplifted without Contact Tracing, it would accelerate the spread to devastating level. Contact tracing has been adopted in Wuhan to identify the people to be infected with COVID-19 successfully
2. Protective Coveralls or Pandemic Protection Garments - Certified PPE Garments not Kitchen Apron
Curretly, it is obvious the UK hospitals have no appropriate Pandemic Protection Kits available to frontline workers to fight the invisible enemy.
The numbers of deaths are particularly alarming every day and Covid-19 has not reached its peak. Where frontline workers are wearing Apron in UK hospitals, frontline workers in Germany, Spain, Italy etc. are wearing Protective Overalls to help defeat the horrendous virus.
Why is this important?
Contact Tracing and PPE Garments adoptions in other affected countries suggest that easing off the lockdown measures even slightly without any containment plan with, would accelerate the spread to an unmanageable degree. The possible prize to pay if ignored are more deaths, uncontrollbale spread and overwhelming NHS
Several NHS workers have already lost their lives after contracting the disease from patients and that number is likely to soar without Contact Tracing and PPE Garments exit strategy plan. More medics would still loss their lives fighting Covid-19.
These are the NHS workers who have died from coronavirus so far:
