‘Harrogate Scrubbers’ answer country’s call over PPE – The Yorkshire Post says

Evidence that people are ready, willing and able to contribute to this national effort, medics relocating to the makeshift field hospital can be certain of the warmest of Yorkshire welcomes.

Even if self-isolation protocols mean that they can’t interact with residents as they would normally do in a community which is renowned for its hospitality, and institutions like Bettys, they only have to ask for help – and they will receive it in abundance.

It’s the same with Savile Row-trained tailor Gill Long who is confident that her team at Hull-based Cock of the Walk can produce 250 surgical gowns a day.

Another example of Yorkshire’s famed can-do spirit, such enterprise just needs to be harnessed – and deployed – as expeditiously and effectively as possible.
