Grantham A&E downgraded “temporarily” as COVID-19 free UTC
Hospital bosses have revealed plans to turn Grantham A&E into a 24/7 urgent treatment centre (UTC) as part of a major overhaul to tackle COVID-19.
Plans to turn United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust’s plans to create a “green” site – which will be completely COVID-19 free have been published for approval at the trust’s “extraordinary” board meeting on Thursday.
Bosses say the plans will be temporary, starting from June 22, but carrying on until “at least March 31, 2021”.
The changes will mean A&E patients and non-elective patients will be turned away from Grantham Hospital to other sites including neighbouring trusts.
However, elective surgery and day cases such as chemotherapy patients will be taken from Pilgrim and Lincoln hospitals and transferred to Grantham.
“We believe these temporary changes are the right approach to manage the pandemic in a way that best protects our patients and staff whilst delivering key services,” said the documents before the board meeting next week.
New Taskforce launched to tackle coronavirus across social care
A new social care Taskforce has been created to oversee the protection of people in local health services, the health secretary Matt Hancock has announced.
During the government’s daily briefing on Monday, Mr Hancock also announced that all remaining adult care homes in England will be able to order testing kits, not just those caring for the over-65s.
The task force combines national and local government and care home in order to support the implementation of testing and the delivery of Personal Protection Equipment.
It will include additional training and resources.
More than one million tests have been sent out to care homes, hitting the government’s target.
The latest move will see nearly 6,000 more homes get testing kits.
Mr. Hancock said he knew “personally, how anxious” the coronavirus pandemic was for anyone with relatives living in social care.
Other key moments include:
The lowest number of cases since March. The UK has reported 1,205 new cases today.
R is “below one in all regions” according to SAGE, said Mr Hancock
Hospital admissions are falling – there are now 6,403 people in hospital with coronavirus

One-way system planned for Lincoln Cathedral reopening
Plans for new one-way systems are being drawn up as Lincoln Cathedral prepares for life after lockdown.

Lincoln Cathedral is yet to announce the date it plans to reopen.
Second Black Lives Matter protest planned for Lincoln
A second Black Lives Matter protest has been planned in Lincoln with protestors being encouraged to wear red and black to support the movement.

Plans dropped to get all primary students back to school
Primary schools in England may not be able to welcome back all year groups before the end of term, the government says.
The initial plan was for schools to adopt a phased return, starting with reception and years 1 & 6 on June 1, before aiming for all primary pupils to be at school for four weeks before summer.
Year 10 and 12 students were then going to be allowed to see teachers as of June 15 as they prepared for an exam year.
Education secretary Gavin Williamson delivered a statement to the House of Commons about schools on Tuesday, June 9.
In his statement, Mr Williamson said that schools will now be given “flexibility” to bring pupils back when they deem it safe to do so.
The government will also be aiming to bring back all pupils in September, saying: “We are not able to welcome all primary for a full month before the summer.”
The announcement comes after health secretary Matt Hancock said secondary schools may not fully reopen until September “at the earliest” in his coronavirus briefing on Monday, June 8.
On Thursday, June 4, less than 12% of the primary school population were actually back in class, according to data from the department of education.

The total number of COVID-19 deaths in Greater Lincolnshire is 322.
Nationally, a further 129 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 27,619.
Patients were aged between 26 and 100 years old. Three patients, aged between 78 and 93, had no known underlying health conditions.

Socially distanced Burger King reopens in Lincoln
The first Burger King store in Lincoln reopened its doors on Tuesday, with strict social distancing rules in place.
League One football season finished, Lincoln City place 16th
Lincoln City’s fate in League One has finally been decided, as football clubs voted to end the season due to coronavirus.
The current positions in the table will stand as final on a points per game basis, meaning that Lincoln City finish the campaign in 16th place.
The club have been dealt a financial blow by the COVID-19 pandemic, with projected revenue losses of around £1m coming as a result of the season prematurely ending.
A factory in Grimsby will produce 10 million face masks a month to support frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
This comes after investment from Austrian-based Hygiene Austria, which was set up in April 2020 as a joint venture between Lenzing and Palmers Textil. Lenzing already employs 210 people at the Grimsby site.
Machines have been installed and are undergoing commissioning with production of masks planned for this week.
Cheers! Lincoln bar launches cocktail delivery service
A Lincoln bar is launching bottled cocktails for delivery this week as it continues to adapt during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Strait and Narrow has been delivering a variety drinks to its customers since lockdown began in March. It started with beer as people were missing the bar’s wide range before it moved onto gin, whisky and wine.
After being continually asked about their cocktails, the bar was approached by Hi Spirits (makers of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Tito’s Vodka and Broker’s Gin) and Identity Brands (makes of Plantation Rum) to help get their products out to the public.
However, when asked what could have caused Tuesday’s increase, Mr McGinty said: “It is a bit of a jump, we haven’t been able to explain that yet although my working theory is we have had outbreak in three food factories that have come up over the last week or so where we’ve been doing additional testing.”
The wait for sweet delicious lockdown treats is nearly over as a popular Lincoln doughnut shop prepares to reopen for takeaway later this month.
Doughnotts will be reopening its Lincoln, Nottingham and Leicester stores with strict social distancing rules and for takeout only from June 24. The Lincoln store is located in the Cornhill Quarter and all seating will be closed.
People can pop into the shop to place their orders. Orders can also be placed via Deliveroo from the same date.
Over 200 Lincolnshire cancer patients still waiting to start treatment
Around 200 people in Lincolnshire who need cancer treatment still don’t know when they will be able to be seen by doctors because hospitals are in lockdown due to coronavirus.
There are also more than 12,000 people who have been waiting for more than 18 weeks to be seen by specialist doctors after referrals from GPs as planned elective and urgent diagnosis appointments have reduced during lockdown.
Three Lincolnshire care homes still tackling COVID-19 outbreaks
Just three care homes in Lincolnshire are currently tackling outbreaks of COVID-19, compared to 22 at the peak of the pandemic.
Deputy director of public health at Lincolnshire County Council Tony McGinty, however, said he expected to continue to see outbreaks for the foreseeable future, just at a lower level.
The county council monitors around 270 homes across the county.
Mr McGinty said he could not be optimistic that the number would reduce to zero, adding: “I suspect we’ll continue to see the odd case or outbreak in care homes for a little while.
“Bearing in mind that COVID isn’t going away, it’s likely to take up a bit of a position like some of the other infectious diseases that we see in care homes from time to time.
Lincolnshire leaders’ fears over Grantham Hospital changes
Lincolnshire council leaders remain “concerned” and “unconvinced” by hospital bosses’ plans to turn parts of Grantham Hospital into a “COVID-free site – including a downgrade of the A&E department.
Instead, elective surgery and day cases such as chemotherapy patients would be taken from Pilgrim and Lincoln hospitals and transferred to Grantham.
The only non COVID-free zones would be an urgent treatment centre in place of the A&E and an ambulatory care department.
Bosses say the plans will be temporary, starting from June 22, but carrying on until “at least March 31, 2021”.
Lincolnshire County Council leader Martin Hill said while the authorityappreciated the reasons, it was “concerned about the removal of overnight beds… even on a temporary basis.”
Social bubbles of two adults allowed to meet indoors in bid to tackle loneliness
Single adult households, including single parents with children under 18, are now allowed to form “social bubbles” in order to tackle loneliness.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the change during the government’s daily briefing.
He said he understood “how difficult the past few months have been”.
“There are too many people, particularly those who live by themselves who are lonely and struggling,” he said.
Under the new rules, the social bubble will enable those taking part allowed to meet indoors, but is only allowed to apply to two single adult households, and cannot be switched or changed between multiple groups.
If one of the people in those “bubbles” gets coronavirus, both must self-isolate and get tested as usual.
“This is not designed to qualify people to start meeting other people inside. That still remains against the law,” added Mr Johnson
Other key moments included:
Outdoor attractions, including zoos, safari parks and drive-in cinemas, will be able to open from Monday
Places of worship can also re-open for “individual prayer” from this weekend
The government continues to meet it’s five tests, however, Mr Johnson added: “we remain vigilant”
11th June 2020 10:04am
Social bubbles are a good move but not a “free-for-all”, say health bosses
Lincolnshire health bosses said plans for new “social bubbles” to tackle loneliness during the coronavirus pandemic are a good move, but “not a free-for-all”.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the move which will allow two single adult households, including those with children under the age of 19, to act as one.
Deputy director of public health at Lincolnshire County Council Tony McGinty said: “This targeted approach to trying to help those people who are really isolated so living on their own or living on their own with with young children is a good move around trying to keep us safe, be proportionate, but also start trying to find some relief to people who are struggling.”
Under the new rules, the social bubble will enable those taking part to meet indoors, but is only allowed to apply to two single adult households, and cannot be switched or changed between multiple groups.
Village school closes again over coronavirus fears
A Lincolnshire village school has closed for a second time over coronavirus fears after a staff’s family member was admitted to hospital to be re-tested.
That person had tested negative for COVID-19 on Sunday, but after the latest development St Helena’s Church of England Primary School in Willoughby, Alford had to close again.
Lincolnshire health boss calls for more local COVID-19 data from central government
Health bosses in Lincolnshire are calling for more data to be released to them by Central Government in order to help in the response to coronavirus.
Derek Ward, Director of Public Health at Lincolnshire County Council, said that although weekly figures for the Lincolnshire Showground testing are released by Public Health England, some national data isn’t being filtered down to local level, including details of where contact tracing is taking place.
“We are pushing really hard to get all of the data that is held nationally on people in Lincolnshire to come through to us,” he said.
“There’s a really strong argument to say that, absolutely, while central government needs to have a view right away across the country, people in London aren’t going to know and be able to manage the situation here as well as people in Lincolnshire.”
Lincoln Cathedral will open for individual private prayer and reflection from Tuesday, but communal acts of public worship are still not permitted.
Plans for a new one-way system were drawn up for the cathedral after the government announced that places of worship will be permitted to open for individual prayer in line with social distancing guidelines from June 15.
The cathedral has now confirmed that it will be able to welcome people through its doors again on Tuesday.
Health boss urges for two metre social distance rule to stay
The two metre distance rule in place to tackle coronavirus should be kept for “as long as we can” the county’s health boss has said.
MPs in central government are calling for the social distancing rule to be dropped in order to help the economy.
They are calling for it to be reduced to one metre, which would be in line with World Health Organisation rules and guidance from The Lancet Medical Journal.
However, Mr Ward said the Lancet’s assessment also said that protection was increased with distance “which you would help from a policy and public health perspective”.
“From my perspective, I would like to keep two metres for as long as we can. Because my job is to keep people safe.
“I am absolutely convinced that two metres significantly reduces the risk. And basically it means that you’re not going to be in close contact.”
“If you get closer you’re increasing your risk, and then it becomes about how long were you that close to somebody.”
Boston leader accuses councillor of “putting NHS at risk”
The leader of Boston Borough Council has accused fellow members of “putting our NHS at risk” following a recent meeting of the authority.
The meeting, which was broadcast live and published on YouTube, saw technical issues which prevented Councillor Viven Edge from voting on an initial attempt to delay a decision on a new alliance with East Lindsey District Council.
Shortly after Councillor Alison Austin revealed Councillor Edge had attended her house. Both Councillors were in facemasks, but removed them to speak.
Councillor Paul Skinner confirmed there had been a “number of complaints” regarding the code of conduct, which he said were being investigated by a solicitor.
Councillor Skinner said following the meeting: “I cannot condone this sort of behaviour either by councillors or members of the public.
Fourth consecutive day without COVID-19 deaths in Greater Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire hospitals have now gone four consecutive days without any further COVID-19 related deaths being reported.
The latest government statistics show that the number of deaths at Lincolnshire’s hospitals has remained at a total of 140.
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals Trust has also again seen no further reported deaths – sticking at a total of 115.
The total number of COVID-19 deaths in Greater Lincolnshire is 322.
Nationally, a further 70 people who tested positive for the Coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 27,860.
There have been 1,643 new coronavirus cases and 83 COVID-related deaths in Greater Lincolnshire this week – compared to 1,670 cases and 71 deaths last week.
Some 304 new cases and 17 deaths were reported in Greater Lincolnshire on Friday – the third day in a row with 17 deaths.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard recorded 252 new cases in Lincolnshire, 28 in North Lincolnshire and 24 in North East Lincolnshire.
On Friday, 14 deaths were registered in Lincolnshire, two in North East Lincolnshire and one in North Lincolnshire. These figures include deaths both in and out of hospitals, as well as residents in hospitals outside the county.
NHS England reported six new local hospital deaths at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, four at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and one at Lincolnshire Community Health Service hospitals. Some 51 hospital deaths have been recorded this week, compared to 48 last week.
On Friday, national cases increased by 40,261 to 3,583,907, while deaths rose by 1,401 to 95,981.
Lincolnshire health bosses estimate that 80-90% of new coronavirus cases in the county are now a mutant, more infectious strain of COVID.
Figures earlier this week said that by January 8, 59.2% of cases had confirmed the new virus — up from 36% by the end of 2020 — and now county leaders estimate the number to be even higher.
The COVID mutation that has taken over most new cases in Lincolnshire is not only more infectious, but also more deadly, it has been revealed.
NHS bosses are hoping to offer all care homes in Lincolnshire the first COVID vaccine dose by the end of the week. This comes as almost 5.4 million people have received jabs nationally.
Director of Nursing at Lincolnshire CCG Martin Fahy told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that about three quarters has been completed so far.
A single week in December saw Lincolnshire deaths reach 13 times the yearly average, explained local health bosses frustrated with COVID deniers.
Lincolnshire County Council’s Director of Public Health Professor Derek Ward explained that the week including December 14 would usually see an average of 23 deaths, but 2020 say 301 deaths that week.
In national news, there are no plans to pay everyone in England who tests positive for COVID-19 £500 to self-isolate, No 10 has said.
The PM’s official spokesman said there was already a £500 payment available for those on low incomes who could not work from home and had to isolate.
The coronavirus R number in the UK has fallen sharply since last week, suggesting the lockdown is slowing the spread of coronavirus.
The R, which refers to the number of people that an infected person will pass COVID-19 on to, is between 0.8 and 1 across the UK, according to the figures released by the Government Office for Science and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).
This means for every 10 people infected with COVID-19, they will pass the virus on to between eight and 10 others.
Lincoln City has taken the top spot with the highest infection rate in Greater Lincolnshire.
This week saw South Holland at the top which was put down to two outbreaks in care homes with up to 100 cases. South Holland has now dropped to third place in the region.
Greater Lincolnshire still remains way below the national average infection rate of 472.9, with just 217.3 per 100,000 of the population.
Here’s Greater Lincolnshire’s infection rate over the last seven days up to January 22 according to the government dashboard:

The COVID mutation that has taken over most new cases in Lincolnshire is not only more infectious, but may also be more deadly, it has been revealed.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there is “some evidence” the new variant of COVID-19 which is more transmissible could have a “higher degree of mortality”.
However, he said all current evidence continued to show that vaccines remain effective.
Health bosses in Lincolnshire on Friday estimated 80-90% of new coronavirus cases were the new variant.
Boris Johnson told reporters that there were currently no plans to change lockdown rules saying “this is the right package of measures” and that it was down to people obeying the current lockdown and enforcement.
Mr Johnson was speaking during a press briefing on Friday where health bosses said 1 in 55 people now had coronavirus in England.
There are now more than 38,000 people in hospital nationally – 78% higher than the peak of the first wave.
Mr Johnson said: “We’ve been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly, it also now appears that there is some evidence that the new variant, first identified in London and the south-east, may be associated with a higher degree of mortality.
“It’s largely the impact of this new variant that means the NHS is under such intense pressure.”
In response to questions over death spikes caused by the new variant he said: “Death numbers will continue to be high for a little while to come.”
Sir Patrick Vallance, the government’s chief scientific adviser, said there was already confidence the new virus spread more easily, but that it was unclear why that was.
He said there was no difference in terms of age range being affected.
Sir Vallance added the outcome for those in hospital with the new variant was the same, however, there was evidence “there’s increased risk for those who have the new variant, compared to the old virus”.
Early evidence suggests the difference shows 13-14 deaths per 1,000 infected as opposed to 10 in 1,000 for the original virus.
However, he added: “That evidence is not yet strong, it’s a series of different bits of information that come together to support that, and I want to put it into context as to what it might mean.
“But I’m stressing that these data are currently uncertain and we don’t have a very good estimate of the precise nature, or indeed, whether it is overall increase.”
He confirmed there was increasing evidence the new variant would be susceptible to the vaccines and studies of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine showed “very good neutralisation”.
“There’s increasing confidence, coupled with I think what is a very important clinical observation, which is that individuals who’ve been infected previously, and have generated antibodies, appear to be equally protected against original virus and new variant,” he added.
England’s Chief medical office Chris Whitty said there had been a “turning the corner” for the number of people catching the virus, adding it was coming down from an “exceptionally” high level.
A Lincoln couple will reopen their independent pizzeria at a new location on Friday night, with an array of main and signature pizzas and Belgian waffles.
Weirdough’s Pizza Emporium will open at Tap & Spile on Hungate from 5pm on Friday, January 22, but it initially started out as a charity project making Neo-Neapolitan pizzas.
Husband and wife team Matt and Rachel Barnes have lived in Lincoln for around five years and last year they wanted to do something to raise money for the NHS.

Matt used to work at a Lincoln school, but they were closed to most pupils for a few weeks in March, so he started working on a project and Weirdoughs Pizza Emporium was born.
It was initially run from The West End Tap from the end of last summer, but in January the pub announced it would not reopen again under its current management, so Weirdoughs had to find a new premises.

All profits made from the food sold – just under £2,000 – went to the NHS. The couple also did some drop offs at the coronavirus ward at Lincoln County Hospital.
Matt was made redundant at the end of May and Rachel was due to give birth four weeks after that.
It was a hectic time for the couple as Rachel, who works at a primary school in Peterborough, would be on maternity leave and Matt would soon have no income.

As the pizzas were working so well and following feedback from customers, the couple decided to turn it into a business.
Dan Neale, who previously ran the West End Tap, has joined the Weirdoughs team of four as a pizza chef.

The dough is homemade 24 hours ahead to make their special main and signature pizzas, while customers can also order a create your own Weirdoughs waffle.
The Belgian waffles come with a variety of toppings such as Kinder Bueno, Crunchie, and Galaxy Caramel, with sauces including white and milk chocolate, salted caramel and toffee, with ice cream.
Weirdoughs will open Friday to Sunday 5pm-9pm and Wednesday to Thursday 5pm-8pm for takeaway or delivery.
Pre-ordering is advised via Facebook or Instagram or by calling 07734 297 035, with the latter option preferred if it is after 4.30pm.

Delivery is available to the following areas: Ermine, St Giles, Monks Road, High Street, Bailgate, Boultham, West End and the city centre.
Weirdoughs will try and accommodate other areas too, but it may incur additional charges, while the takeaway will also be joining Uber Eats in the near future.
