Local coronavirus update - Thursday


* Old Vicarage care home staff with their masks.

The Old Vicarage care home posted a thank you to the person who made them some protective masks.
 
It said: “ANOTHER thank you to Charlie for making us washable bags for our uniforms! What a star.
 
“It means so much at this time to know that people are thinking of us and helping us to keep people as safe as we possibly can - both the team and the people who live at our home!”
 
Carie Mason‎, who works at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, posted yesterday evening: “Tomorrow I am taking 60 scrub bags and 20+ headbands to Wrexham Maelor Hospital. 12 bags made by Anne Taylor, 8 made by Sue Harris and 40 by me. Also Mary Roberts made the headbands. Thank you ladies. My colleagues will really appreciate the ti.e that has been made to make all these things. Keep safe everyone.”
 

Sean Anderson took to Facebook yesterday to thank a local store for how its staff were handling the lockdown.
 
He posted: “I don’t usually do these things but I was astounded by the fantastic customer service I received the other day in Llangollen Spar. All the staff were being extremely professional following all the guide lines whilst also being very friendly and polite still. I’ve gone into other stores where it feels slightly intimidating at the moment but which is completely understandable but in the Spar they were fantastic. 

"I left the shop and one of my bags ripped because I stupidly filled it to much. My milk and eggs fell out and smashed on the floor. One of the staff members came immediately out the shop asked if I was okay and replaced my items and the bag with no charge. Even though during this time they could have easily avoided any form of close contact (even though none of us came in contact) but they didn’t turn away. Thank you very much!”
 
 
Plas Newydd posted about things to do in lockdown, and it said: “While Plas Newydd is closed, here are a few activities to keep you busy in your home, inspired by the ladies favourites. We would love to see what you create so share them or tag #plasnewydd to be included on our page. Stay home and stay safe!”
 

Chirk town councillor Gareth Baines has launched an initiative to help frontline NHS staff which will be of interest to Llangollen people.
 
He posted on Facebook yesterday: “Weʼre raising money to pay for the staff at Wrexham Maelor Hospital and Chirk Hospital to have a celebration once the COVID19 pandemic is over. Please give if you can, or share. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/gareth-baines…
 

The Denbighshire Free Press carried a story yesterday about a clinic run by a mother-of-two from Llangollen which is offering free support to people suffering with skin damage during the Coronavirus lockdown.

Sara Cheeney (pictured above), owner of Pure Perfection Clinic in Rossett, near Wrexham, is helping to combat the problem by posting regular video tutorials and information on social media.
