Default NHS Wales warns against DIY at home

Corse they are, they cant even manage to come up

The lower numbers of industrial injuries and vehicle related injuries will

Calls for not taking 'unnecessary risks' with house work

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/51966001

There is concern that injuries will increase as the public spend long
periods in their homes

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."
