Here’s what you need to know about #measles, from the signs and symptoms to look for to what to do if you think you or your child has measles.
ALT Measles: know the symptoms Cold-like symptoms usually appear before a rash, including: High temperature, Runny/blocked nose, Sneezing, A cough, Red, sore, watery eyes
ALT The measles rash. A rash usually appears a few days after the cold-like symptoms. The spots are sometimes raised and join together to form blotchy patches. They’re not usually itchy. The rash looks brown or red on white skin. It may be harder to see on brown and black skin.
ALT Spots in the mouth. Small white spots may appear inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips a few days later. These spots usually last a few days.
ALT Call ahead. If you think you or your child have measles, call your GP surgery or NHS 111 first, before turning up at a healthcare setting. This will help to stop the virus spreading.

🙈🙈🙈At no point during the covid pandemic, or indeed any time, do nurses go back to the staff room for a ‘quiet drink’ This would be career ending (and rightly so). Struggling with my feelings on this given how hard we have all worked for the last 2 years & how broken many are
"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink"
Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise

A plea to young people in #countydurham !
Please get #COVID19 vaccine ASAP.
The uptake among young people in our area is low. This will result in bad outcomes for us all.
Please spread the message.
