There is concern that injuries will increase as the public spend long

There are calls on people not to take "unnecessary risks" with work
around the home over the coming months.

Doctors are concerned that the number of injuries will increase as
the public spends long periods in their homes because of a
coronavirus crisis.

"The temptation over the next few weeks will be to do the things
around the house that you've long avoided, like putting up shelves or
pictures.

"Don't take unnecessary risks, because we won't have the capacity to
handle you."

Twitter post:

"As a trauma surgeon, don't take unnecessary risks right now - no DIY
when self-isolating, no curtain washing. Because there will be no way
to treat you."


Sounds like there will be a baby boom in time for Christmas, then :-)



They need to a bigger and stiffer message against social contact. And
to spell out what "social contact" includes - in pictures.
