The British Veterinary Association has also backed the opening of vets during lockdown. BVA President, James Russell, said: "We are very pleased that governments across the UK continue


to recognise the importance of access to veterinary services during these local and national lockdowns – for animal health and welfare, public health, and keeping the food supply going.


"However, as veterinary professionals, we all have an incredibly important role to play in tackling the spread of the virus so we must continue to work as safely as possible to protect


ourselves and our clients. "The latest guidance from BVA focuses on the clinical and professional judgement of our colleagues to assess whether and how clients can be seen safely, as


well as considering whether they need to be seen in person.
