Everyone seems happy in Open Arms despite lockdown situation

Our thanks to Charlie for this update on how Open Arms is managing in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak: 

Mid-March, we introduced a range of measures before taking a unilateral decision to lock-down all Open Arms sites in early April. We have a significant number of babies, children and staff who are HIV+ and for their collective protection, we felt lock-down, although we can ill-afford to do it, was the safest policy.

Our inverters installations have been delayed by the lock-down but we are planning to 're-boot' as soon as possible.

Interestingly, staff and babies all seem... happier than usual - something for me to ponder as we drift back into 'normality' at some point.

I hope that you are now strong... and hopefully still sane

Best regards

Charlie
