Title: Hospital Appointment
Post by: Roscoe on 05 Aug, 2022, 09:46:23 pm
I read somewhere that you had to wear FFP3 masks if you have an appointment at the hospital.  Can anybody clarify please.

From Arboleas Life 15 July

"From.Maureen Boulton
We went to the Huercal Overa Hospital this morning. Just to let you know. Security Guards are on duty to ensure people coming into the Hospital are wearing the correct face masks. We thankfully carried spare masks which conformed to the new rule which we have since found out came into force this morning.
You need to be wearing a FFP2 mask. These are sometimes called the ones that make you look like Donald Duck !!
Please be aware of this change if you have to go to the Hospital for anything. The last thing you want is to be turned away."

I have an appointment shortly, so are these the ones which are blue on one side and white on the other or those which have a changable inner bit?

No - the one that makes you look like a duck

Well we went to Huercal Overa hospital this evening armed with ffp2 masks.  You can't breathe in them!  Whilst waiting to be called, we gave up and I went to the car and fetched the blue ones.  Quite a few of the staff where wearing them, so I thought sod it.  What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. :tiphat:
