28 October 2020: University of the West of England: “Concerns have been raised over a lack of mandatory face masks for students and staff at the University of the West of England (UWE). One lecturer said staff “don’t feel safe” and he felt “insulted” at the suggestion staff were “happy to go to Sainsbury’s and the pub but not work”.” BBC.
Because UWE are overwriting their figures, giving only the last 7 days, we have begun to record them here.
