Update on Covid-19 in England: Leeds has been put back into lockdown recently but I don't think it will be a strict situation as before, the covid-19 death toll has risen up to around 12 people, considering leeds is considered a typical party area, I wouldn't be surprised if they went into a local lockdown. With the rules of social distancing is pretty lazy, the governmont, councils of public health in different cities only tell people "social distance responsibly" which i think is just like saying "do what ever you want really"... I understand that people do have to go back to work, make money and live their normal social lives to actually get around but after going through covid-19 test myself it wasn't all that pretty and one of my mates has been tested positive for it, realising how easy that is, especially for him, he and I are very healthy people.
At my work, lifeguarding is a very difficult thing as for any type or first-aiders/first-responders, with CPR now we are not allowed to give breathes to people, all we need to do now is compression's which is very dangerous if they had just drowned, these breathes are needed and yet the government let pools reopen and my work are even adding on more swim sessions to the public. Since the pool has a lot of chemicals which can kill almost any bacteria, we still have some brain-dead people thinking that it is a good idea to stand inches away from each other when standing at the end of the pool to talk, We have placed a 1 way system around the pool which a lot of customers aren't happy with but all i tell people is that "If we don't have these rules in place and you won't follow them, the pool will close once again for weeks if not months and even worse, the whole centre will close too."
After my experience with having to be tested, If i was tested positive for covid-19, the whole leisure centre would have been closed for 2 weeks, and that's just if i had covid-19... My general manager would have had to cancel his wedding, other people who i would with would have had to cancel their holiday's only if I had tested positive, it's crazy to see how much damage me having covid-19 could have caused to the 2nd biggest Leisure centre owned by the company i work for.
