Social distancing introduced many challenges for blind people, including shopping with fewer people guiding you, and little access to online shopping slots. A petition from blind organisations called for recognition that while blind people may not be more susceptible to Covid-19, more help is needed. We look at the latest pronouncements on vulnerable people and shopping from government. And we've more in our series on how different parts of the nation are delivering emergency eye care with less face to face contact. Dr Iain Livingstone, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Honorary Lecturer at University of Strathclyde takes us into a consultation which has been made possible by new investment by the Scottish Government. It allows remote access to eye scans in designated emergency eye care centres - and we hear a patient being examined by smartphone. And you may have noticed there are a lot of fitness experts urging us to get up and move at the moment. But how do you join in if you can't see what they're doing? Jane Taylor of the You Tube Channel If Ginger Can do it joins us to explain how you can keep fit and stay in. Presented by Peter White Produced by Kev Core
