Latest updates from UK HEMS, whilst dealing with Covid 19

Cornwall Air Ambulance will hopefully be assisting Devon Air Ambulance with their new AW 169

Cornwall Air Ambulance may cover parts of Devon while the Devon Air Ambulance is grounded due to coronavirus concerns.

The Devon helicopter is grounded after declaring that the danger of exposure to a patient with coronavirus 'is an unacceptable risk'.
A statement explained that its pilots were unable to fly the aircraft while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).

The nature of the aircraft means they come into close contact with patients, and there is no way of knowing if they have coronavirus or not.

And RAF helping Scottish Ambulance.No masks here???
