Message from Paula & Sean Pinkney:
We have just returned from Vietnam where we were quarantined from 7th March to 15th March because we were on the same boat as two couples who happened to be on the same plane from LHR to Hanoi as a Vietnamese woman who was infected with Covid-19. The plane landed on the 2nd March while we were holidaying in Cambodia. We were quarantined in a hotel room and tested for the virus on the 7th March – it was negative. We were also tested on the 13th March – again negative. We also had our temperatures taken twice a day – all ok. They released us with papers giving us the “all clear” on 15th March and took us to the airport where we returned home.
We are being extra cautious and going against what NHS 111 said, by self isolating till end of this week; NHS 111 said we could go about business as usual.
We will of course have to walk the dog so, if you see us out, don’t be alarmed but please keep at least 2 metres away from us. Apologies this morning for scaring anybody but Paula went out with her mask on (which she did not need to) because she’s anxious about the situation.
