A relative is flying to visit a family member with cancer. Had asked their Dr how to remain safe on their journey & was advised to wear a mask in the airport but it “wasn’t necessary on the plane as they have an air filtration system”. We explained that matters not if someone…

🩵💜💗 July 19 = Clinically Vulnerable Awareness Day 4 yrs ago, “Freedom Day” left millions behind. For CV people, it wasn’t freedom but exclusion. Health and safety should be inclusive rights, not a privilege. Show solidarity: Share a masked selfie with #CVAwarenessDay 1/

Inclusion at work: For Clinically Vulnerable staff, it is particularly important to stay healthy. Respecting masks, improving ventilation, and investing in clean air shouldn't be seen as extras - but access. 4/ #CVAwarenessDay
