Egg-cellent news for the Easter Bunny

Friday 10 April 2020

HSC has already put its newfound authority to register essential staff to good use – by designating the Easter Bunny as a key worker, so parents need to ensure they remember to make him feel welcome this weekend, along with the Tooth Fairy who could visit any time.

Concerned parents and youngsters had contacted Health and Social Care President Heidi Soulsby over fears that the Easter Bunny would not be allowed to visit this year because of the corona virus.

However, he has been fully briefed by the Public Health team, who have assured he will be washing his paws thoroughly between visits in addition to other precautionary measures.

“Some of you have contacted me because you are worried that there will be no Easter egg hunts and that the tooth fairy will not allowed to be able to collect any teeth that fall out,” said Deputy Soulsby. “I am very happy to tell you that the Committee for Health and Social Care have designated the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fary as essential workers.”

“The Easter Bunny will therefore be able to visit children in the Bailiwick on Easter Sunday but with one caveat – Dr Brink has advised that any Easter egg hunts can only happen at home with the people living in your home. And don’t worry the tooth fairy can continue to make essential visits to your children’s houses to collect any teeth that have fallen out during the current lockdown period.

“Dr Brink assures me that Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are fully briefed by Public Health services to ensure all infection protection and control measure are in place for these visits.”
