We are so lucky in #Newcastle to have such fantastic #NHS hospitals, clinics & GP services with so many dedicated staff making sacrifices all the time to keep us healthy & make us better, I want to express my thanks to all of them at this difficult time @NHSMillion

We have to do all we can to help them to help us & right now that means following the public health advice, whatever your age, #StayAtHome #WashYourHands #HelpEachOther

And we are also really lucky to have our fantastic #ToonMoor & so many parks across the city. I cycle & run in them regularly. Whilst some of us can still use them safely, not everyone is doing so. We need to maintain 2m distance at ALL times.

So #socialdistancing in our parks & #TownMoor means not holding gates open for each other - I know, it seems rude but its not. It means avoiding the most popular areas & only saying hello if you can keep 2m away. Solidarity means staying apart! #coronavirus

I've seen some great photos of #Newcastle socialdistancing tho I don't want people to go outdoors to take them. Maybe we need a hashtag #cannyisolation ?#geordiedistancing ? or just plain #generousgeordies
