Episode Notes

What's life really like on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus in Sherborne? GP Dr. Elizabeth Long and the matron of The Yeatman Hospital Anne Hiscock talk to The Sherborne Podcast about how they are coping with COVID-19.

The Grove Medical Centre is now the 'hot site' for assessing patients with coronavirus symptoms in Sherborne and the surrounding area. 

The Yeatman is treating patients with the virus.

Do they have adequate supplies of personal protection equipment locally and are health staff getting the tests for the virus they need to be able to stay at work?

Also this week,  local author Chris Oswald, whose fourth book in his 'Dorset Chronicles' series is published next week, discusses how the pandemic may be viewed in the future.
