No Social Distancing As Cops And Crowds Cheer NHS Staff

This is the moment crowds including police officers not wearing masks are packed close together ignoring social distancing outside Southend Hospital in Essex in a tribute to the medical workers inside.

But the footage taken online showing the support taking place outside the hospital in Southend-on-Sea has caused a storm of criticism after showing the NHS supporters standing packed close together, including a line of police officers. The crowds also included firemen and RAC breakdown staff.
