Staff reportedly warned not to speak to press about lack of equipment

Last month, one of the nurses pictured told the paper: “We need proper PPE kit now, or nurses and doctors are going to die. It’s as simple as that.

It is ridiculous that healthcare workers don’t have the protection they need.

Why do Brits keep voting Conservative. That party has done so much damage to the NHSuk that people are dying as a result. borisFailedBritain

The big bags may be unpleasant but protective enough. The masks, on the other hand, seem to be chirurgical, good for the protection of the patients, but possibly not protective for the medical personnel. Should they not be FFP2, N95 or FFP3?

It is absolutely scandalous the Northwich Park hospital has more than 50 per cent of staff got infected while at work due to a lack of PPE & most had to resolve in wearing bin liners as coverups!!

Remember when a British Government (Blair) sent out soldiers to fight in Iraq without body armour? Seems there's a certain political class that believe we're just cannon fodder.

JohnEtheridge79 Bless em so brave let down by inadequate PPE hope they come through

May they come through this well and strong.Thanks to the caring ladies & sorry you did not have what you needed to protect yourselves DrZweliMkhize Please make sure frontline nursing staff and services are protected.

What a shame BorisJohnson, what do you say about it ? surely you must have something to say but don't lie...

Where are the God damn PPEs If health workers tests positive, who will be at the fore front

If this is true then heads should roll. Wishing all 3 a speedy recovery. 🇬🇧👍🦠👎

Once again, where is the *PPE*?
