Brief Description
This banner was used in the main circulation areas of Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were ordered in July 2021 to supplement the original blue ones from June 2020. "The reason for doing the green and orange version was that the Trust was really worried by the press talking about the lifting of lockdown on 2 July 2021 as ‘Freedom Day’. The rules relaxed everywhere (more or less) apart from clinical sites so we needed a fresh new version that would be impactful for staff, patients and visitors. [As of January 2021,] they are still in place in areas where patients are particularly vulnerable such as the cancer and transplant treatment areas. "
