Colourful thank you for NHS workers

NHS workers on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic saw a colourful thank you on their way into work.

Road markings bearing the words "Thank You NHS" were painted onto the ground outside the Rotherham Hospital, in a bid to show appreciation for the work staff are doing at this difficult time.

The blue and white NHS logo was also drawn onto a colourful rainbow – the symbol of hope and gratitude adopted by many throughout the Covid-19 crisis.

The show of appreciation is the latest in paying tribute to those working to reduce the spread of coronavirus.

Sharon Kemp, Rotherham Council’s chief executive said: "To show our appreciation for our brilliant NHS workers, our highways team and our contractors were out last week painting special ‘Thank You NHS’ messages on the approaches to the hospital, on Moorgate Road.

“This is just another way to express thanks to the health workers while they are dealing with the continuing coronavirus pandemic."
