Former surgeon urges shielding cancer patients to choose exercise locations carefully
Shielding cancer patients should continue to exercise, but only if it's safe to do so.
That's according to the chairman of the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association and retired consultant surgeon Malcolm Clague.
Those who are clinically vulnerable or extremely clinically vulnerable, which includes some cancer patients, are being advised to stay at home as much as possible, only heading out for essentials, medical supplies and exercise.
Mr Clague says exercise is beneficial in the right environment:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
