Coronavirus: Scots health board posting out free condoms- and they come in different sizes

Scots health bosses are posting out condoms to help couples beat the coronavirus crisis blues.

And NHS Grampian is giving them out in three different sizes so all guys can have something to keep them occupied during the isolation.

With the country on lockdown, many couples and families have been left with the prospect of weeks ahead inside.

Chiefs at the north-east health board have decided to provide the contraceptive for free by post to anyone coming forward from the area.

Punters can order either regular sized, trim (small), king size (large) or latex-free products.

They have also promised complete anonymity for anyone ordering.

A post on Facebook read: "NHS Grampian has set up a 'condoms by post' service for the public. Email free.condoms@nhs.net or telephone the healthline on 08085 202030 to place your order.

"Condom types available:

"Regular
"Trim (small)
"King (large)
"Non-latex

"Please clearly provide your name, address, postcode and what type you require. This is especially important if you phone as you might have to leave a message.

"Personal details will not be kept or passed on.

"This service is for the Grampian region of Scotland ONLY."

But the health board has now taken down the information from the social media site.

It is unclear if other Scots health boards are introducing the scheme.
