    That delivery company / food supplier, needs its contract terminated pdq. Don’t suppose there is anyone to report it to now, seeing as how there is not even a legal obligation to isolate when infected. The Home should at least be taking measures to extend their ‘ban’ to careless louts like that.

    I would have phoned his company because in general the drivers are very courteous. 
    Our tesco delivery drivers have been exceptional.

    Absolutely agree ... they wondered how Covid spread so quickly among the care homes ... well, now we have a fair idea what probably happened ...... 
    I would notify Environmental Health and the CQC ... you can do it anonymously.

    Under the new Tory rules that delivery driver could have tested positive for Covid this morning and still legally be allowed to deliver to the care home.  At the very beginning care homes were obliged to take patients from hospitals without testing. We know how devastating the virus was as it ripped through care home after care home.

    He shouldn't have just walked in though, as the home had put up a sign saying to wait for a member of staff. Healthcare settings I think can still require people to wear masks, or they might have preferred to have the delivery handed over at the door. In any case it's just plain rude and inconsiderate to ignore the notice.

    usually they call ahead and staff wait outside for them, or they leave it between the two sets of sliding doors into the reception.

    That's my point ........ whatever the regulations, they're on someone else's property and should behave as asked, particularly in those circumstances.

    If I was managing a care home and I knew that a delivery driver had behaved as described, at a care home which had a Covid outbreak, and then delivered to my care home, I'd be taking it up very seriously with his employer.

    Bl**dy BBC,  blurting out the F1 result on the main news headlines without warning again.  They would never do this for anything else,  they seem to have forgotten that they gave up their contract to air the races voluntarily. 

    I managed to avoid hearing the result prior to watching the highlights.  Probably the best race I've watched in years.  Loads of overtaking plus a driver spitting his dummy when things weren't going his way, and for a change it wasn't Hamilton doing the dummy spitting.
