so when people arrive at our clinic
they'll be met at the front door by our
security guards Martin what he'll do is
bring people in and they'll be asked to
use our hand sanitizer this facility
didn't exist last week and asked to
stand behind the line and at this point
they'll be given a massacre on its for
coronavirus patients only until a few
days ago they might have been sent to GP
practices instead they'll be brought
into a critical room it'll be a fist
doctors surgeries across Scotland now
have a new defense against this virus
keeping it as far from their buildings
as possible when someone with
coronavirus symptoms is asked to go and
see their GP there's a risk they infect
the surgery staff and other patients
well in Scotland they've come up with an
entirely new network of coronavirus
assessment centres buildings that have
been staffed and kitted out in just a
couple of weeks dedicated only to
coronavirus hello hi it's like Carrie
how are you doing very well in Glasgow
this new centre was set up in ten days
why is it important to keep the
coronavirus patient's separate in this
way it's one of the biggest rest of the
effectivity of Corbett and actually
patients who usually are changing our
Arab GP practices often might have
multiple other medical conditions
diabetes heart disease chase disease and
actually they're at high risk so if
they're the ones at me if they've a
compositor that forward there are much
higher risk so if we can try and see
them in a way where there's reduced aid
a chance of them being affected by
couvade that works far better for that
population the center's are appointment
only first you go through one one one
and a special coronavirus hotline on
your description of your symptoms
there's nothing that you're saying that
makes me think we need to send you up to
the hospital or anything like that in
Edinburgh that means this team of GPS
dr. Patel delayed her retirement this
week to join this fledgling work force
some of the stories that I've been
hearing this morning have been terrible
some people have been very surprised at
how how bad the kovat 19 symptoms have
been and I commiserate with them because
they they are suffering how different is
it to what's happening elsewhere in the
country I think it's unique in the UK
this system I think in the rest of the
country patients are still running the
general practice in the daytime it a GPS
relieved that this is happening for
their own safety yes they are a lot of
GPS are in buildings that might not be
suitable to separate patient floors out
and they were getting a lot of demand on
top of their normal demand so I think
prices are very relieved this has
happening Wendy and all the staff here
in Glasgow were redeployed choosing to
be face to face with coronavirus so
others don't have to did you think twice
about doing what you're doing you're
there on the front line dealing with
patients who are suspected of having
coronavirus everyone else in society is
running a mile from those sorts of
situations aren't they they're only
getting started here they know the worst
is still to come
now politicians in Scotland have this
week begged people not to flock so the
country's remote beauty spots worried
that limited health care and other
resources will simply be overwhelmed but
some of the smallest communities are
banding together to help each other from
public hand-washing stations to
scrambling together protective gear for
their NH
workers this is the story of one
villages response to this new way of
life from bali hula shin the highlands
our chief correspondent Alex Thompson
bullish Ambala who leash no committee no
bureaucrats just welding from scrap
metal volunteers had it done and loaded
up in just six hours delivered to the
coop front door whether the court liked
it or not obviously is the friend of
this virus without a doubt and
organizations that are set up now a
certain way to act very slowly are not
going to work what you need is a rapid
community pledge organization that knows
the community where cross the road and
the village health alert system is up
and running signs up all over the
village and this one speaks for itself
things are okay you've got the green
cross and the green thumbs up however if
things are not looking so good
somebody's ill it all changes red cross
thumbs down and on the back of this sign
there's all sorts of immediate medical
information numbers to call and what to
do if you suspect you've got the virus
and not only that as we'll see in a
moment the village is out patrolling
we'll just check make sure that's still
at Green by night and by day and
volunteer Angus checks if any green
signs have gone red so forget not

situation with and you know and for all
the carrots and for all the people that
