Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported from Wuhan, China, on 31 December 2019. Four further patients in England have tested positive for COVI-19, bringing the total number of cases in the UK to 13.
The risk to individuals remains low. There has been no one tested positive for the virus in Scotland so far. However, a school local to us in Carlisle which is only 36 miles away from Moffat is allowing pupils to work from home because of fears about the possible spread of Coronavirus following a skiing trip to northern Italy. While they didn't visit the effected region, which is the centre of the outbreak, travellers returning to the UK from the area were told they may need to isolate themselves in a measure to stop the spread of illness.
You will have seen in the news that a hotel in Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands has been locked down after an Italian doctor visiting there tested positive for coronavirus.
People are close to calling the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.
In Scotland during the summer season millions of tourists from all over the world visit to see our beautiful beaches, experience our culture and try our delicious seafood. Last year this contributed nearly 5000 million to the Scottish economy.
Has anyone had any holidays cancelled due to this outbreak and what impact do you think this will have on Scottish tourism for the upcoming season?
On Saturday we celebrated Johanna’s 10 - year anniversary at the CIS office and Maureen’s birthday. We went for lunch at The Bank in Dumfries just on the sands. We ordered a selection of tapas and drinks from the menu and shared amongst ourselves. I personally ordered the Mussels in a creamy sauce and coconut breaded prawns, a few other dishes we enjoyed were pigs’ cheeks, Chorizo & king prawns and some lamb kebab styled skewers. Lots more tapas too but too many to list! Also forgot to take a picture of the food as were too excited to get stuck in.
They have deals on through the week as well, a selection of tapas and a drink for £20. The prices were very reasonable as they were large portions for being tapas dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed, so much so that I am going again this Saturday for the mussels and prawns! Would highly recommend. We never had any desserts as we were full, but the selection looked nice. It’s a lovely restaurant with nice views of the sands as well. We continued on from here to the Hole I’ the Wa for a few other drinks.
We are all back in the office today and hoping for a busy week! We are hoping for snow but there is nothing in Moffat yet. Let see your snow pictures if you have any.
We are having a good week in the CIS office this week with 20 adverts, 13 relief jobs confirmed and 1 permanent placement so far. Johanna has been away on annual leave, so I have been dealing with relief and some permanent recruitment and Jade has been picking up the rest of the permanent recruitment and has been arranging a lot of interviews.
We have 30 relief chefs out working which is on par with last year.
The weather has been dreadful with storm Dennis and the continuing rain. We hope everyone has stayed safe on their travels to jobs.
We are keen to meet chefs here in Moffat for future work relief or permanent. Please get in touch to check our availability.
We have now got some managerial and front of house positions on our list for permanent if you are looking for front of house work.
We have an offer on for adverts until the end of February with £25 + vat off any advert placed.
Policy on taking on new relief chefs – we are happy to get new chefs registered but the priority of work goes to the chefs who have worked all season and previous seasons. Relief work picks up from mid-March 2020. Please just email your up to date CV reference details and hygiene certificate to jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
