Covid-19: Both of the images above were taken on permitted single daily exercises. I regret to note that some photographers have demonstrated a bit too much mobility in the past week, contrary to government guidelines -which are not changed at the time of writing, and for good reason, contrary to the messages in the tabloid newspapers. The Tugs will still be running after this is over.
